Abstract: In one embodiment, an improved transceiver assembly for a vehicle capable of detecting potentially hazardous objects is disclosed. The transceiver assembly comprises a tapered slot feed antenna for generating a beam and for detecting the beam as reflected from the potential hazards. The antenna is formed in or on a housing which also contains a parabolic dish that oscillates to sweep the beam of radiation towards the potential hazards outside of the vehicle. In a preferred embodiment, approximately 77 GHz radiation is generated from and detected by the antenna. The antenna is preferably formed on a printed circuit board (PCB) (substrate), which can include additional circuitry necessary to operate the antenna, and which is preferably mounted at an acute angle with respect to the housing to direct the beam at the parabolic dish.

Abstract: A monolithically integrable spiral balun comprises a substrate having first, second, third, and fourth transmission lines formed thereon. The first transmission line has a first end coupled to receive an input signal and has a second end. The first transmission line forms a spiral that winds in a first direction from its first end to its second end. The second transmission line has a first end and has a second end electrically coupled to the second end of the first transmission line. The second transmission line forms a second spiral that winds in a second direction from its first end to its second end. The third transmission line has a first end for providing a first output and a second end for coupling to a first potential. The third transmission line forms a third spiral that interleaves the first spiral and winds in the second direction from its first end to its second end. A fourth transmission line has a first end for providing a second output and a second end for coupling to a second potential. The fourth transmission line forms a fourth spiral that interleaves the second transmission line and winds in the first direction from its first end to its second end.

Abstract: High quality epitaxial layers of monocrystalline materials can be grown overlying monocrystalline substrates such as large silicon wafers by forming a compliant substrate for growing the monocrystalline layers. An accommodating buffer layer comprises a layer of monocrystalline oxide spaced apart from a silicon wafer by an amorphous interface layer of silicon oxide. The amorphous interface layer dissipates strain and permits the growth of a high quality monocrystalline oxide accommodating buffer layer. The accommodating buffer layer is lattice matched to both the underlying silicon wafer and the overlying monocrystalline material layer. Any lattice mismatch between the accommodating buffer layer and the underlying silicon substrate is taken care of by the amorphous interface layer. Once such a structure is built, a high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) or a heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) can be constructed on the structure. A HEMT or HBT of the above structure can then be used in a switch or in an amplifier.

Abstract: A one-dimensional nanostructure multi-port coupler (100, 300, 400, 600) is provided for use in an RF device (700). The coupler (100, 300, 400, 600) includes a first plurality of one-dimensional nanostructures (102) aligned substantially in a first direction (110) and coupled between the input (103) and first output (103′), and a second plurality of one-dimensional nanostructures (104) substantially aligned in a second direction (112), coupled to a second output (105), and disposed contiguous to the first plurality of one-dimensional nanostructures (102). The first and second plurality of one-dimensional nanostructures (102, 104) may comprise first and second contiguous planes. The amount of RF energy coupled may be controlled by varying the width, density, diameter, and type of one of the plurality of one-dimensional nanostructures (102, 104) versus the other. The amount of RF energy coupled may also be controlled by varying the angle between the first and second plurality of one-dimensional nanostructures (102, 104) and by disposing a dielectric material (132) therebetween.

Abstract: An antenna system (205) includes an antenna structure (215), a receiver (220), and an antenna system controller (225). The antenna structure includes an arrangement of antennas (237), a signal combiner (240), and a switching matrix (235). The arrangement of antennas is designed to have a set of antenna element separations that are optimized to provide lowest correlation coefficients of intercepted radio signals for a corresponding set of electromagnetic environment types that vary from a very low density scattering environment to a maximum density scattering environment. The antennas (230), (231), (232), (233), (234) in the antenna arrangement each include at least one element that has a common polarization. There is at least one antenna that is a dual polarized antenna. The antenna system selects an antenna element pair that corresponds to the environment type which it is operating and thereby receives a best combined signal.
