ULTRA-WIDE BAND SINGLE-ENDED ADDITIVELY MANUFACTURED MODULAR APERTURE ANTENNA - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18170859 titled 'ULTRA-WIDE BAND SINGLE-ENDED ADDITIVELY MANUFACTURED MODULAR APERTURE ANTENNA

The antenna assembly described in the patent application consists of a conductive dipole arm and an adjacent conductive wall (H-wall) that allows for efficient radiation without additional losses.

  • The assembly includes a single-ended antenna feed designed to receive a single-ended signal.
  • A ground plane and a conductive dipole arm are aligned on the same plane, with the conductive wall electrically coupled to the ground plane.
  • The H-wall is physically separated from the dipole arm and orthogonal to the ground plane, enhancing the antenna's performance.
  • A feedline is connected to the conductive dipole arm and the single-ended antenna feed for signal transmission.

Potential Applications: - Wireless communication systems - Radar systems - Satellite communication - Radio astronomy

Problems Solved: - Improved radiation efficiency - Reduced signal losses - Enhanced signal reception

How does the conductive wall (H-wall) contribute to the efficiency of the antenna assembly? - The H-wall enables efficient radiation from the conductive dipole arm without added losses, enhancing the overall performance of the antenna. 2. What are the potential commercial applications of this advanced antenna assembly? - The technology can be applied in wireless communication systems, radar systems, satellite communication, and radio astronomy, among other industries.


Original Abstract Submitted

An antenna assembly includes at least one conductive dipole arm and an adjacent conductive wall (“H-wall”), which enables efficient radiation from the conductive dipole arm without added losses. A single-ended antenna feed is configured to receive a single-ended signal. The antenna assembly further includes a ground plane and a conductive dipole arm in planar alignment with a surface of the ground plane. The conductive wall is electrically coupled with the ground plane and has an end adjacent to, and physically separate from, the conductive dipole arm, an axial length of the H-wall being orthogonal to the ground plane. The antenna assembly further includes a feedline electrically coupled with the conductive dipole arm and the single-ended antenna feed.
