摘要： A wafer-scale heterogeneous layered active electronically scanned array (ESA) utilizes a low-loss integrated waveguide feed. The ESA is formed from wafer-scale subarray modules each of which comprises a multilayer stack to form transmit/receive (T/R) modules. Waveguide subarray combiners feed the T/R modules. A subarray combiner is a waveguide assembly bonded to a bottom layer in the multilayer stack. The bottom layer is a ground plane forming a top waveguide broadwall of the combiner. The waveguide subarray combiner may be formed from a variety of waveguide types and feeds the T/R modules using electric field probe coupling or an aperture slot coupling. A second layer feed structure forms the subarray modules into the ESA and feeds the waveguide subarray combiners. The second layer feed structure uses waveguides to feed the waveguide subarray combiners using E-field probes or aperture slot coupling on the bottom waveguide broadwall.

摘要： A phased array antenna is provided having a plurality of phase shifter devices for phase shifting and beam steering a radiated beam of the phased array antenna. The plurality of phase shifter devices are interconnected with an interconnect structure comprising a plurality of linear array substrate slats. Each linear array substrate slat includes a plurality of radiating elements formed using first and second metal layers of the substrate slat, a plurality of phase shifter devices and a common RF feed conductor for the plurality of radiating elements. The common RF feed conductor is formed on a third metal layer of the substrate slat that is disposed between the first and second metal layers. The common RF feed conductor is configured to include a single location for electrical connections to receive RF signals for the plurality of radiating elements. The phased array antenna also includes bias/control conductors applied to selected areas of the third metal layer, a fourth metal layer applied over the second metal layer and a shielding metal layer applied on the fourth metal layer. The bias/control conductors are configured to include a single location for electrical connections to receive bias voltages and control signals. The fourth metal layer includes circuit connections from the bias/control circuitry to the plurality of phase shifter devices. Each phase shifter device is attached to a radiating element via a mounting location on the shielding metal layer. Accordingly, a phased array antenna interconnect structure is provided that reduces the number of electrical connections required to provide RF signals and bias/control signals to multiple radiating elements and phase shifters, respectively, of the phased array antenna and provides a cost effective phased array antenna architecture that has a single locus of electrical connection for RF and bias control signals embedded in a multi-layer linear array or slat substrate of the phased array antenna.

摘要： A method of forming a conformal electronic scanning array (ESA) is disclosed. The ESA is formed using rolling techniques similar to those used in forming LCD displays. If the layers forming the ESA are made of substantially transparent materials, the ESA may be applied to an outer surface of a display, such as a flexible display.

摘要： Supported liquid membrane delivery devices that release a beneficial agent to an aqueous environment following exposure to an environmental trigger. A microporous hydrophobic support membrane at least partially surrounds a beneficial agent- containing hydrophilic formulation. A hydrophobic liquid is held within the microporous support membrane by capillarity and the hydrophobic liquid is substantially permeable to the aqueous environment and the beneficial agent-containing hydrophilic formulation. The entrained hydrophobic liquid becomes substantially permeable to the aqueous environment upon exposure to an environmental trigger such as an enzyme, and the beneficial agent is subsequently released.
