Abstract: A method fabricating at least one universal substrate from a batch product. The method includes steps of: providing a preform having a predetermined profile; wrapping a plurality of conductors about an outer surface of the preform; injecting a nonconductive matrix between conductors of the plurality of conductors, wherein the nonconductive matrix permeates between interstitial spaces of the plurality of conductors to isolate some conductors of the plurality of conductors from one another; forming the batch product that includes the plurality of conductors and the nonconductive matrix; and wafering at least one section of the batch product to form the at least one universal substrate. The plurality of conductors of the at least one universal substrate defines a first connection surface, a second connection surface opposite to the first connection surface, and a plurality of conductive pathways defined between the first connection surface and the second connection surface.

Abstract: An antenna assembly includes an antenna feed configured to receive a signal over a wide bandwidth, a ground plane, and an antenna element. The antenna element includes first and second conductive dipole arms each in planar alignment with a surface of the ground plane and adjacent to each other. The antenna assembly further includes a conductive wall (“H-wall”) in electrical communication with the ground plane and having an end adjacent to, and physically separate from, the second conductive dipole arm, where an axial length of the H-wall being orthogonal to the ground plane, and a resistive surface having an attenuation effect on the reflected signal from the ground plane.

Abstract: An adaptive filter protocol stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium that is operatively in communication with a processor of a platform. The adaptive filter protocol includes a first processing loop that is operatively in communication with at least one receiving device of the platform for receiving at least one input signal. The adaptive filter protocol also includes a second processing loop that is operatively in communication with the first processing loop and has a deterministic gradient descent optimization logic and an interpolation logic. When the at least one receiving device receives the at least one input signal, the adaptive filter protocol enables the processor to generate a refined match filter parameters that substantially correlates with the initial parameters of the at least one input signal upon completing a plurality of refining cycles of the second processing loop.

Abstract: A computer program product and corresponding method for targeting one or more points in a three dimensional (3D) model is provided. The computer program product including least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium in operative communication with a computer processing unit (CPU), the storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the CPU, implement a process to register the 3D model with a stereoscopic image pair. The steps performed include inputting a first image and a second image that define a stereoscopic image pair into an object targeting program, wherein an object is shown in the first image and the second image, inputting a three dimensional (3D) model of the object into the object targeting program, registering the 3D model to the stereoscopic image pair, and targeting a point associated with or near the object based on the 3D model having been registered to the stereoscopic image pair.

Abstract: An attenuator circuit includes a differential input having first and second inputs, and a differential output having first and second outputs. The attenuator circuit further includes a first transistor coupled between the first input and the first output, a second transistor coupled between the second input and the second output, a third transistor coupled between the first input and the second output, and a fourth transistor coupled between the second input and the first output. During a pass-through state, the first and second transistors are enabled, and the third and fourth transistors may be disabled. During an attenuation state, the first, second, third, and fourth transistors are all disabled. An attenuator network (e.g., T or Pi network) may have its differential input terminals coupled to the first and second inputs of the differential input, and its differential output terminals coupled to the first and second outputs of the differential output.

Abstract: An antenna assembly includes a first flexible layer including a conductive ground plane on a first layer of dielectric material, and a second flexible layer including a first array of conductive patches on a second layer of dielectric material. The antenna assembly further includes a second array of conductive patches on a third layer of dielectric material. The first, second, and third flexible layers are rollable or foldable, to provide a stowed position for the antenna assembly and a deployed position for the antenna assembly. In an example, the first array of conductive patches includes at least a first patch and a second patch, and the second array of conductive patches includes at least a third patch and a fourth patch. In the deployed position, the first patch is above the third patch and the ground plane, and the second patch is above the fourth patch and the ground plane.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an antenna assembly includes additively manufacturing an element that is monolithic and that includes (i) a ground plane, (ii) a patch above the ground plane, and (iii) a structure having a lower end in contact with the ground plane and an upper end in contact with the patch. The method further includes applying a dielectric material between the ground plane and the patch. In an example, the dielectric material is dielectric foam. The method further includes removing a section of the ground plane around the lower end of the structure, such that the structure extends through the ground plane and not in contact with the ground plane. The method further includes connecting an inner conductor of a coaxial cable connector to the lower end of the structure, and an outer portion of the coaxial cable connector to the ground plane.

Abstract: An antenna assembly includes a ground plane including conductive material, and a dielectric material above the ground plane. A patch antenna is on the dielectric material. In an example, a plurality of features extends from an upper surface or a lower surface of the dielectric material and within the dielectric material, wherein the plurality of features comprises voids filled with gas or are vacuum. Additionally, or alternatively, the dielectric material is doped with a dopant. In an example, the antenna assembly further includes a first aperture and a second aperture on the ground plane and below the patch antenna, and another dielectric material below the first and second apertures. In some such cases, a first feed line is below the first aperture, and a second feed line is below the second aperture.

Abstract: A collet for multiple wire elements is disclosed. In an example, the collet has a body made of a polymeric material and extends along a central axis from a first end to a second end. The body defines a first passageway extending axially through the body, the first passageway in communication with the environment via a first insertion opening extending along an entire length of the first passageway. The body defines a second passageway extending axially through the body and in communication with the environment along an entire length of the second passageway via a second insertion opening, the second passageway spaced circumferentially from the first passageway. When installed, the collet frictionally engages wire elements when a first wire element is seated in the first passageway and a second wire element is seated in the second passageway.
