摘要： A patch antenna is composed of a segmented patch and MEMS switches which are built on a substrate. The patch segments of the segmented patch can be electrically connected to each other by the MEMS switches to form a contiguous patch and optional tuning strips and to connect or block RF between the contiguous patch and the optional tuning strips. When RF is connected between the tuning strips and the contiguous patch, the tuning strips increase the effective length of the contiguous patch and lower the antenna's resonant frequency, thereby allowing the antenna to be frequency tuned electrically over a relatively broadband of frequencies. When the tuning strips are connected to the patch in other than a symmetrical pattern, the antenna pattern of the antenna can be changed. In another aspect of the invention, the optional tuning strips are continuous structures that are formed by connecting patch segments using switches. A planar inverted F antenna (PIFA) is also provided with one or more tuning strips spaced from the lid of the PIFA and with switches to connect or block RF between the lid of the PIFA and the tuning strips.

摘要： An artificial anisotropic dielectric material can be used as a microstrip patch antenna substrate. The artificial dielectric can be easily designed for the purpose of weight reduction. Preferably, the artificial dielectric is comprised of a periodic stack of low and high permittivity layers. The layers can be oriented vertically below the patch to support electric fields consistent with desired resonant modes. Substrates may be engineered for both linearly and circularly polarized patch antennas. Antenna weight can be reduced to ⅙th up to {fraction (1/30)}th of the original weight using different types of high permittivity layers. This concept has numerous applications in electrically small and lightweight antenna elements such as PIFA antennas. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the artificial dielectric is comprised of an interlocking structure of low and high permittivity layers for ease of assembly and for overall stability. In accordance with another aspects the high permittivity layers can be comprised of FSS cards, and can include metallized tabs for further simplification of assembly.

摘要： One embodiment includes a blade antenna system. The system includes a ground plane and a planar substrate material extending orthogonally from the ground plane. The system also includes conductive material coupled to the planar substrate material in a coplanar or parallel manner. The conductive material can correspond to a radiating conductor.

摘要： A parallel plate waveguide structure may be configured to suppress spurious propagating modes by including a lossy frequency selective surface (FSS) formed from a resistive film. The electromagnetic material properties of individual layers disposed between the conductive plates of the waveguide may be engineered to extend the suppression band of the fundamental TE mode up to the cutoff frequency of the second TE mode, and to simultaneously create a multi-octave TM mode suppression band. Applications include, for example, cavity mode suppression in microwave and millimeterwave assemblies at the board, package, and chip level.
