摘要: A radio frequency (RF) aperture includes an array of electrically conductive tapered projections arranged to define a curved aperture surface, such as a semi-cylinder aperture surface, or a cylinder aperture surface (which may be constructed as two semi-circular aperture surfaces mutually arranged to define the cylinder aperture surface). The RF aperture may further include a top array of electrically conductive tapered projections arranged to define a top aperture surface. The top aperture surface may be planar, and a cylinder axis of cylinder aperture surface may be perpendicular to the plane of the planar top aperture surface. The RF aperture may further include baluns mounted on at least one printed circuit board, each having a balanced port electrically connected with two neighboring electrically conductive tapered projections of the array and further having an unbalanced port.

摘要: A modular radio frequency (RF) device includes N base units, each including a differential segmented array (DSA) tile with a support board and a two-dimensional (2D) array of electrically conductive tapered projections disposed on the support board. Neighboring pairs of the electrically conductive tapered projections form RF pixels. The N DSA tiles are arranged to form an RF aperture. The N base units are programmed to switch the RF aperture between a first operating mode and a second operating mode. In the first operating mode, the N base units are operated as at least two independent subsets with each subset operating as an RF transmitter or receiver independently of the other subsets. In the second operating mode all N base units coherently combine as a single phased array RF transmitter or receiver.

摘要: The present disclosure provides a dispersive optical device (DOD) that includes a first material having a first refractive index (n1) at a first wavelength (W1) and a first chromatic dispersion (D1); and at least one dispersive optical element (DOE) optically coupled in the first material, the at least one DOE comprising a second material containing a chromophore. The at least one DOE has a second refractive index (n2) at W1; a ratio of n2 to n1 is less than or equal to about 1.05; and the at least one DOE has a second chromatic dispersion (D2), wherein D2 is at least 10 times greater than D1.

摘要: An air interface plane (AIP) of a radio frequency (RF) aperture includes: a circuit board having a first side and a second side opposite the first side; and a matrix of tapered elements arranged on the first side of the circuit board and secured to the circuit board, the matrix of tapered elements cooperating to at least one of receive or transmit an over-the-air RF signal. Suitably, each tapered element of the matrix has: a central hub extending along a longitudinal axis from a hub base which is proximate to the first side of the circuit board to an apex of the tapered element which is distal from the first side of the first circuit board; and a plurality of arms extending from the central hub at the apex of the tapered element, each of the plurality of arms including a first portion that projects the arm radially away from the longitudinal axis and a second portion that projects the arm longitudinally toward the first side of the circuit board.

摘要: CAN bus signal format inference includes: extracting candidate signals from training CAN bus message traffic; defining one or more signals, each signal being a candidate signal that matches structural characteristics of a matching data type and each signal being assigned the matching data type; and generating an inferred CAN bus protocol with which the defined one or more signals conform. Signals are extracted from CAN bus message traffic using the inferred CAN bus protocol, an anomaly in an extracted signal is detected, and an alert is generated indicating the detected anomaly. In another aspect, a transport protocol (TP) signal is extracted and analyzed to determine a fraction of the TP signal that matches opcodes of a machine language instruction set, and an anomaly is detected based at least in part on the determined fraction exceeding an opcode anomaly threshold.
