Compact multi spot beam communication system for small satellite
A multi-beam transmit/receive device comprises a Circular Polarization Frequency Selective Surface (CPFSS) unit, a transmit (Tx) flat array antenna assembly with multi-bean flat array antenna and a receive (Rx) flat array antenna assembly with multi-bean flat array antenna. The Tx multi-beam antenna is poisoned with respect to the CPFSS unit so that its transmission is configured to be reflected by the CPFSS unit to a reflector and to be reflected by the reflector in a defined direction and the Rx multi-beam antenna is poisoned with respect to the CPFSS unit so that transmission that hits the reflector from the defined direction and passes through the CPFSS unit focuses on the Rx multi-beam antenna.
Impedance matching for an aperture antenna
A method and apparatus for impedance matching for an antenna aperture are described. In one embodiment, the antenna comprises an antenna aperture having at least one array of antenna elements operable to radiate radio frequency (RF) energy and an integrated composite stack structure coupled to the antenna aperture. The integrated composite stack structure includes a wide angle impedance matching network to provide impedance matching between the antenna aperture and free space and also puts dipole loading on antenna elements.
Antenna unit and antenna array
An antenna unit and an antenna array. The antenna unit includes M layers of cross metal patches, M layers of dielectric substrates, and a metal ground layer, where M is an integer greater than 1. In addition, an i.sup.th-layer dielectric substrate is disposed between an i.sup.th-layer cross metal patch and an (i+1).sup.th-layer cross metal patch. The i.sup.th-layer cross metal patch, the i.sup.th-layer dielectric substrate, and the (i+1).sup.th-layer cross metal patch are sequentially stacked, and i is an integer ranging from 1 to M−1. An M.sup.th-layer cross metal patch, an M.sup.th-layer dielectric substrate, and the metal ground layer are sequentially stacked. The antenna unit and the antenna array formed by units may have a good polarization feature, a relatively wide operating bandwidth, and a relatively good phase shift feature.

Electronic devices having antennas that radiate through a display
An electronic device may be provided with a display and a phased array antenna that transmits radio-frequency signals at frequencies greater than 10 GHz. The display may include a conductive layer that is used to form pixel circuitry and/or touch sensor electrodes. A filter may be formed from conductive structures within the conductive layer. The conductive structures may include an array of conductive patches separated by slots or may include conductive paths that define an array of slots. The filter may include an additional array of conductive patches stacked under the array of conductive patches to allow the slots to be narrower than would be resolvable to the unaided human eye. The periodicity of the conductive structures and the slots in the filter may be selected to tune a cutoff frequency of the filter to be greater than frequencies handled by the phased antenna array.
