    摘要: The polarization-diverse antenna array includes three orthogonal loop antennas having a common center, e.g. together defining a sphere. Each loop antenna includes a loop electrical conductor. Two signal feedpoints are along the loop electrical conductor and separated by a fraction of a length of the loop electrical conductor. Each of the signal feedpoints includes a series signal feedpoint so that a polarization diversity controller coupled thereto may selectively provide vertical, horizontal, lefthand circular and righthand circular polarization for a single loop electrical conductor, including simultaneous (dual) polarizations. These signal feedpoints may supply signals with vertical, horizontal, lefthand circular and righthand circular polarization from each of the three orthogonal look-angles provided by the three loop electrical conductors. Thus the antenna array may provide a compact facility for using Diversity Combining to improve communications performance and/or Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) schemes that furthermore also increase capacity. The polarization-diverse antenna array provides a rigorous polarization and look angle approach for communications diversity.

    摘要: The hybrid junction includes four electrically conductive planar windings, circular or rectangular, arranged so as to lie along an imaginary spherical or cylindrical surface. Each of the four electrically conductive windings is rotated from adjacent windings by about forty-five degrees. The four electrically conductive windings are electrically insulated from each other and each include a respective signal port. The hybrid junction automatically splits and/or sorts signals. Signals applied to any port will split equally between the opposite port pairs. One output signal will be in-phase with the input signal, and the other output signal will be shifted by 0 or 180 degrees from the input signal. The input signal is split equally, output coupling may be half power or loose, and there is isolation between the output ports. The hybrid junction operates over a broad bandwidth.

    摘要: The inductor, preferably a microwave tunable inductor, includes first and second wires twisted together to define a double helix having a first end and second end with a plurality of twists therebetween. First and second terminals are at the first end of the double helix, and a connection at the second end of the double helix electrically connects the first and second wires in series. The inductance is tuned by adjusting a number of twists in the double helix, and the inductance includes a linear tuning range based upon between about 3 to 10 twist for a tuning range of about 7–12 Nanohenries. The inductor can also resonate and filter, and the double helix affords numerous advantages over conventional single helix inductors.
