Abstract

Provided herein are various magnetoelectric dipole antenna arrays and multi-array arrangements for handling radio frequency signals. In one example, an antenna array includes a baseplate conductively coupled to sets of plate elements by support members that position the plate elements at selected distances offset from a surface of the baseplate. Antenna probes are arranged in orthogonal pairs positioned within gaps between a corresponding set of plate elements, with each antenna probe comprising a conductive strip having a feed section coupled to a radio frequency connection through the baseplate, a transverse section generally parallel with the baseplate, and a terminal section directed back toward the baseplate. Dielectric structures for each pair of antenna probes comprise a dielectric material having channels that recess the conductive strips therein and a dielectric spacer positioned between overlapping transverse sections of the antenna probes.

The Bragg-reflector structure includes several pairs of layers: each pair has a first layer of a first material with a first refractive index and a quarter-wavelength thickness determined by a target wavelength, positioned adjacent to a second layer of a second material with a second refractive index, having a quarter-wavelength thickness. The first refractive index is at least 0.5 higher than that of the second. Over the Bragg-reflector structure, a graded index layer with a continuously changing refractive index is deposited, transitioning from a third refractive index to the first refractive index. The thickness of the graded index layer is selected such that the reflection coefficient for light in the visible spectrum of 400-700 nanometers varies by no more than 25 percent for this wavelength range.

Abstract

This disclosure provides an oxidation-resistant carbon-carbon composite that is molecularly inhibited with uniformly dispersed carbides. Nanoparticles of refractory metals and/or semi-metals suspended in a colloidal suspension infiltrate pores of a carbon-carbon composite during an initial pre-impregnation stage or carbon densification stage. The carbon-carbon composite is heated to form carbides that provide molecular level inhibition in both the interbundle and intrabundle matrix. The carbides are configured to form glass that serves as an oxidation barrier for the carbon-carbon composite. The carbon-carbon composite may be coated with external coatings that can include a converted silicon carbide, functionally graded material (FGM) ceramic coating, metallic coating, polymer-based coating, as-cured or low-temperature heat-treated sealant, or combinations thereof.

Abstract

The examples herein provide enhanced optical architectures employing techniques and systems for scaling up a signal bandwidth and correcting errors in optical signals to achieve a corrected waveform that can be adjusted for the desired application with broad tuning of bandwidth, chirp rate, chirp duration and symmetry. An optical signal is provided for circulation in an optical loop, and incremental modulations are applied to the optical signal over a quantity of circulations to establish circulating waveforms that form a composite waveform. Detected errors in the circulating waveforms can be corrected during the incremental modulations. In some instances, a portion of the optical signal comprising the composite waveform can then be directed for emission toward a remote target and remote sensing of properties of the remote target.

Abstract

Longitudinally ridged quad polarizer feeds include a waveguide spanning a longitudinal axis between a feed port and an antenna port, with first ridge elements that span longitudinally from the feed port on first opposing walls of the waveguide and second ridge elements that span longitudinally from the feed port on second opposing walls of the waveguide. A polarization of a radio frequency signal transiting the waveguide is altered based at least on a difference in longitudinal lengths between the first ridge elements and the second ridge elements. These polarizers can be formed from a single workpiece using an injection molding technique, leading to a reduction in manufacturing complexity, cost, and mass.
