    摘要: A radio frequency (RF) aperture includes an interface printed circuit board. An array of electrically conductive tapered projections have bases disposed on a front side of the interface printed circuit board and extend away from the front side of the interface printed circuit board. Chip baluns are mounted on the back side of the interface printed circuit board. Each chip balun has a balanced port electrically connected with two neighboring electrically conductive tapered projections via electrical feedthroughs passing through the interface printed circuit board. Each chip balun further has an unbalanced port, and RF circuitry disposed at the back side of the interface printed circuit board is electrically connected with the unbalanced ports of the chip baluns. The electrically conductive tapered projections include dielectric tapered projections and an electrically conductive layer disposed on an inner or outer surface of the dielectric tapered projections.

    摘要: A portable countermeasure device is provided comprising one or more directional antennae, one or more disruption components and at least one activator. The portable countermeasure device further comprises a body having a dual-grip configuration, with the directional antennae are affixed to a front portion of the body. The one or more disruption components may be internally mounted within the device body. The dual-grip configuration allows an operator to use his body to steady and support the device while maintaining the antenna on target. The second grip is positioned adjacent the first grip, with the first grip angled toward the rear of the device and the second grip angled toward the front of the device. The portable countermeasure device is aimed at a specific drone, the activator is engaged, and disruptive signals are directed toward the drone, disrupting the control, navigation, and other signals to and from the drone.
