摘要:
The electrically tunable inductive device includes an electromagnet including an electromagnet core and a bias or tuning coil cooperating therewith to define opposing magnetic poles for generating a quiescent magnetic field that may be varied. An inductor is tunable based upon the variable magnetic field and includes an inductor core having a toroidal shape and fixed at a position adjacent the opposing magnetic poles of the electromagnet, and an inductor or signal coil is around at least a portion of the inductor core. The electromagnet core may include a pair of opposing legs and a bight portion therebetween defining a horseshoe shape. The inductor core may be positioned between ends of the opposing legs of the electromagnet core, and the tuning coil may surround the bight portion of the electromagnet core. The electrically tunable inductive device may have the combination of fine precision, high speed and high power handling, useful for tunable RF filters.

The radio frequency (RF) inductor includes a core being electrically non-conductive and ferrimagnetic, and having a toroidal shape, and a wire coil thereupon. At least one permanent magnet body is at a fixed position within the interior of the core, and an electrically conductive RF shielding layer is on the at least one permanent magnet body. The core may be ferrite for example. The electrically conductive RF shielding layer may be a conductive plating layer or a metal foil surrounding the permanent magnet body, for example. A magnetic field from the permanent magnet is applied to the inductor core to reduce losses, and the permanent magnet may be enclosed within the conductive shield to keep RF fields out. The inductor may be made small and have increased Q and resulting efficiency. The RF inductor may be applicable to RF communication circuits, for example, as an antenna coupler.

The present invention concerns a dual gain antenna system 100 with an integrated system to control a matching network 214. The dual gain antenna system 100 comprises an antenna that includes a first helically shaped antenna element 104, a second vertical antenna element 106, and a base portion 101. The first antenna element 104 is disposed around a longitudinal axis of a dielectric rod 102 that contains a bore 205. The second antenna element 106 is disposed within the longitudinal axis of the dielectric rod bore 205. A sensor 215 detects when the second antenna element 106 is in the extended position and transmits a control signal to a matching system 214 that selectively controls the impedance matching network 214 between the antenna and the RF feed line 103.

An electronic counter-measure receiver can be colocated with a threat simulator radar, which transmits a radar signal. As a pulsed-Doppler signal, this transmitted radar signal is sampled as a reference signal by the receiver to determine quadrature, coherent matched filter coefficients. A return signal is received and processed with the reference signal as quadrature signal components with the quadrature, coherent matched filter coefficients within a matched filter. The return signal is processed as a first intermediate frequency via a mixer and local oscillator and a second quadrature intermediate frequency via a digital local oscillator and mixer. A fast Fourier transform is performed to determine Doppler information. In a continuous wave transmission for sampling arbitrary but unevenly spaced in time pulses are generated from a pulse generator source internal to the receiver.
