The present invention is directed to an interface for connecting a waveguide manifold of a transition to a stripline manifold of the transition. The interface may include a plurality of metamaterial layers, each including a metamaterial(s). The interface may further include a ground plane layer which may be connected to both the plurality of metamaterial layers and to the stripline manifold. Further, the interface may include a plurality of ground vias which may form channels through each of the layers of the interface and through the stripline manifold for providing a ground structure for the interface. The interface is further configured for forming a resonant structure which provides a low-loss, broadband conversion between a stripline mode and a waveguide mode for electromagnetic energy traversing through the interface between the waveguide manifold and the stripline manifold.

The present invention is directed to a radiating element assembly including radiating element integrated with a radome. The radiating element assembly may be dual-polarized. Further, the radiating element assembly may operate over a frequency band of 10.9 GHz-14.5 GHz and may be configured for minimizing polarization cross-talk at Array Normal Scan of well below −30 decibels over the entire frequency band. Still further, the radiating element assembly may provide return loss at Array Normal Scan of less than or equal to −10 dB.

The present invention is directed to a matched load. The matched load may include a stripline section and multiple resist material sections. The multiple resist material sections may be connected to the stripline section and may each include a resist material. The resist material may be a metal alloy film. Further, the load may be configured for operating over a frequency band ranging from 9 GHz to 18 GHz. Still further, the load may be configured for providing a return loss of less than −25 dB at each operating frequency included in the 9 GHz to 18 GHz frequency band. Still further, the load is compact, such that multiple loads may fit into a dual polarized radiating element cell.

A two panel radar system is disclosed. The radar system may include a pair of AESA panels respectively positioned on either side of a central axis, wherein a pointing direction of the first AESA panel is offset by a predetermined angle in a clockwise direction with respect to the central axis and a pointing direction of the second AESA panel is offset by the predetermined angle in a counterclockwise direction with respect to the central axis. A controller may be configured for selectively activating at least one of: the first AESA panel for providing a first coverage area in a first direction offset from the central axis, the second AESA panel for providing a second coverage area in a second direction offset from the central axis, or the pair of AESA panels jointly for providing a third coverage area between the first coverage area and the second coverage area.

A composite mounting structure for a cathode ray tube is described wherein L-shaped mounting brackets are secured along the corner regions of the peripheral skirt of the cathode ray tube face panel by a steel tension band, and wherein slippage of the brackets and tension band during severe thermal or mechanical shock is minimized by the inclusion of slip-resistant foam mounting blocks between the base portions of the mounting brackets and the glass skirt portion of the face panel.

An electronically scanned array radiating element includes a ground plane layer having a pair of conductive probes. A metallization layer is coupled with the ground plane layer and includes a first asymmetric cluster including HOF scattering members and impedance-matching dipoles. A first electrically-large impedance-matching dipole is coupled with one of the conductive probes and is associated with the first asymmetric cluster. The first electrically-large impedance-matching dipole and the first asymmetric cluster may cooperate with one another to produce a signal. A second asymmetric cluster includes HOF scattering members and impedance-matching dipoles. A second electrically-large impedance-matching dipole is coupled with the other conductive probe and is associated with the second asymmetric cluster. The electrically-large impedance-matching dipole and the asymmetric cluster may cooperate with one another to produce a second signal having a polarization orthogonal to the polarization of the first signal.
