Various examples are provided related to mutual coupling reduction between elements in antenna arrays. In one example, an antenna array includes patch antenna elements disposed on a first side of a substrate; and meander line (ML) slots formed in a ground plane disposed on a second side of the substrate. The ML slots can be disposed opposite a corresponding patch antenna element with the ML slot extending at an angle between first and second sides defining a corner that is adjacent to another patch antenna element. In another example, an antenna array includes first and second patch antenna elements disposed on a first side of a substrate and separated by a gap; and at least one meander line (ML) slots formed in a ground plane disposed on a second side of the substrate and aligned with the gap between the first and second patch antenna elements.

A system and method for nulling or suppressing interfering signals directed toward moving platforms based, at least in part, on dynamic motion data of the moveable platform is provided. The system may be an interference nulling system carried by a moveable platform and may include an antenna array including two or more antenna elements that generates at least one initial steerable null radiation pattern, dynamic motion data logic that determines dynamic motion data of the moveable platform; and update logic that updates the at least one initial steerable null radiation pattern based, at least in part, on the dynamic motion data. The at least one updated steerable null radiation pattern is directed toward a direction from which interfering signals are being transmitted from an interfering signal source.

A radio frequency (RF) jamming device includes a differential segmented aperture (DSA), a jammer source outputting a jamming signal at one or more frequencies or frequency bands to be jammed, and RF electronics that amplify and feed the jamming signal to the DSA so as to emit a jamming beam. The DSA includes an array of electrically conductive tapered projections, and the RF electronics comprise power splitters configured to split the jamming signal to aperture pixels of the DSA. The aperture pixels comprise pairs of electrically conductive tapered projections of the array of electrically conductive tapered projections. The RF electronics further comprise pixel power amplifiers, each connected to amplify the jamming signal fed to a single corresponding aperture pixel of the DSA. The RF jamming device may include a rifle-shaped housing, with the DSA mounted at a distal end of the barrel of the rifle-shaped housing.

Systems, methods, and apparatus for identifying, tracking, and disrupting UAVs are described herein. A tracking system can include one or more first computing devices that receive sensor data associated with an object in a particular airspace from one or more sensors. The first computing device can analyze the sensor data relating to the object to determine information about the object. A portable countermeasure device can include one or more second computing devices. The second computing device can receive the information relating to the object. The second computing device can display a visual indicator indicating the information on a display.

A null steering adjuster in a stationary wireless network identifies the presence or absence of a current set of phase differences in a dataset. The dataset includes legitimate sets of phase differences detected between radio frequency signals received by multiple antennas from respective legitimate sources. The current set of phase differences is detected between radio frequency signals currently received by the antennas. When the current set of phase differences is absent from the dataset, a null is created in the antenna pattern of the antennas in the direction of the currently-received radio frequency signals. When the current set of phase differences is present in the dataset, the antenna pattern is maintained.

Systems, methods and apparatus are described for a HERF weapon that may emit high-energy radio waves at a target based on locational information and a frequency associated with the target. The HERF weapon may receive the frequency and locational information from a sensing system. The HERF weapon may emit a high energy pulse toward the target and on the frequency associated with the target to disable or destroy the target without affecting nearby devices. The HERF weapon may allow the user to avoid detection by using a frequency that corresponds to the target's operating frequency.

A method and apparatus for providing a standalone anti-jamming (AJ) nuller-beamformer. Signals from an antenna array include a sum of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals and jamming signals from a plurality of spatial sources. A front end is configured to amplify, filter, down-convert, and sample the input signals which are then filtered, downconverted, and decimated prior to frequency-domain and time-domain partitioning. Weights are computed and applied for spatial nulling of jamming signals in each frequency bin for the partitioned signals. Frequency and time-domain reconstruction generates a reconstructed signal with suppressed jamming.

A portable Electromagnetic Countermeasure (ECM) device is disclosed for military and civilian population protection from electromagnetic communications and attack, including cell phones, radios, radio-triggered explosive devices, and other personal and portable devices comprising transmitters and receivers.
