A waveguide polarizer for converting between a linearly polarized electromagnetic field in a first waveguide and a circularly polarized electromagnetic field in a second waveguide is provided. The waveguide polarizer includes a structure interconnecting the first and second waveguide which includes a waveguide excitation arrangement with a bifilar helical shape. A circularly polarized antenna arranged to be connected to the first waveguide of the waveguide polarizer and a satellite arrangement are also provided.

A microwave heating device includes a variable frequency microwave power supply, a waveguide launcher, and a fixture to contain a material to be heated, with the fixture located directly adjacent to the end of the launcher. All heating occurs in the near-field region. This condition may be insured by keeping the thickness of the fixture or workpiece under one wavelength (at all microwave frequencies being used). The launcher is preferably a horn or waveguide configured to apply the microwave power to a small area to perform spot curing or repair operations involving adhesives and composites. The spot curing may secure components in place for further handling, after which a thermal or oven treatment will cure the remaining adhesive to develop adequate strength for service. A related method is also disclosed.

An antenna and a combined antenna are provided. The antenna comprises: a housing in which a first port and a second port are formed; a feeding network unit, which is disposed inside the housing and comprises a waveguide power divider connecting the first port and the second port, wherein the waveguide power divider is configured for dividing the electromagnetic wave transmitted from the first port to the second port, or merging the electromagnetic wave transmitted from the second port to the first port; a radiating unit, which comprises a radiator disposed on the housing and close to the second port. The antenna in the embodiment of the present disclosure also has the advantages of low loss, being suitable for high-power transmission. In addition, the antenna in the embodiment of the present disclosure is relatively simple in structure, and therefore, is beneficial to reduce the overall volume of the antenna, so as to meet the miniaturization design requirements of the antenna.

A board to board contactless interconnect system includes a first circuit board for launching at st one microwave signal into a cavity of a first waveguide secured thereto. A second waveguide, secured to a second circuit board, is coupleable to the first waveguide to receive the at least one microwave signal in a cavity of the second waveguide and conduct the at least one microwave signal onto a microwave receiver aligned with the cavity on the second circuit board. The waveguides may be separable and may include additional waveguides. Conductive gaskets with apertures for microwave signals to pass through are positioned between the waveguides and between each circuit board and a waveguide to prevent leakage of microwave energy therebetween. Some embodiments may pass signals through a sealed boundary and maintain integrity of the seal. Such embodiments may have a third waveguide interposed between the first and second waveguides.

An antenna device includes: an antenna panel; one input terminal through which a high-frequency signal is input; and a feeding circuit which distributes the high-frequency signal input to the input terminal to a plurality of antenna elements provided on the antenna panel. The feeding circuit includes: at least one first-stage branch circuit which includes one input and two outputs; at least two second-stage branch circuits which receive outputs of the first-stage branch circuit and include one input and two outputs; and a combining circuit which includes two inputs and one output and receives two outputs selected from the outputs of the first-stage branch circuit and outputs of the second-stage branch circuit.

Resistively loaded dielectric biconical antenna apparatuses, including systems and devices, that may be used to transmit very short electrical pulses (e.g., nanosecond, sub-nanosecond, picosecond, etc.) into tissue non-invasively at energy levels sufficient to invoke biological changes in the tissue. These resistively loaded dielectric biconical antenna apparatuses may include a resistor ring reducing internal reflection and reducing energy loss, as well as delivering longer pulses (e.g. microsecond to millisecond) to tissue.

A microwave heating device includes a variable frequency microwave power supply, a waveguide launcher, and a fixture to contain a material to be heated, with the fixture located directly adjacent to the end of the launcher. All heating occurs in the near-field region. This condition may be insured by keeping the thickness of the fixture or workpiece under one wavelength (at all microwave frequencies being used). The launcher is preferably a horn or waveguide configured to apply the microwave power to a small area to perform spot curing or repair operations involving adhesives and composites. The spot curing may secure components in place for further handling, after which a thermal or oven treatment will cure the remaining adhesive to develop adequate strength for service.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include a system configured for receiving sensing data from a orientation detector coupled to an antenna, determining, according to the sensing data, that an aperture of the antenna has shifted from a first orientation to a second orientation, and configuring a transmitter to generate an adjusted electromagnetic wave that is supplied to a feed point of the antenna for offsetting the shift in orientation of the antenna.
