Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring air gaps between opposing surfaces of two structural components. In one application, such measurements are used to fabricate a shim that fills the air gap between two structural members, such as parts of an aircraft. The resonant inductive coupling-based sensing system has the capability to remotely measure an air gap using an on-board transmit system. Furthermore, the system has the capability to switch between multiple inductor-capacitor sets such as to simultaneously measure air gaps across an area so that a better profile of the air gap can be determined. The resonant inductive coupling-based gap sensor is configured as signal generating and signal sensing electronics printed or mounted on respective flexible substrates to provide a flexible and portable measurement solution.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for identifying a location of a radio-frequency identification tag. A hand-held locator device is configured to transmit a first signal and a second signal. A frequency of the first signal changes through a first range of frequencies and is transmitted in a range of directions corresponding to the first range of frequencies. A frequency of the second signal changes through a second range of frequencies and is transmitted in the range of directions corresponding to the second range of frequencies. A difference frequency signal, having a frequency that is a difference between the frequency of the first signal and the frequency of the second signal, is received from the radio-frequency identification tag. The difference frequency signal is processed to determine and display a direction of the radio-frequency identification tag from the locator device.

Abstract: A semiconductor device assembly and method of providing a semiconductor device assembly. The method includes providing a flexible interposer, providing a first redistribution layer on the flexible interposer, and providing a second redistribution layer on a portion of the first redistribution layer. The second redistribution layer is provided by additive manufacturing. The first redistribution layer may be deposited in a clean room environment. The first redistribution layer may be deposited via chemical deposition or physical deposition. A semiconductor device is attached to the first redistribution layer. The flexible interposer may be attached to a board with the semiconductor device being electrically connected to the board via the first redistribution layer, the flexible interposer, and the second redistribution layer. The flexible interposer may be attached to a flexible hybrid electronic (FHE) board. The flexible nature of the flexible interposer and/or the FHE board may redistribute stress on the semiconductor device assembly.

Abstract: A planar antenna with an integrated receiver based on aperture coupled antenna elements with inclusive slots electrically coupled to a microstrip feed network residing above a lower ground plane is disclosed. The use of aperture coupled feed elements eliminate the need for vias, which simplifies fabrication. Further, the antenna has integrated electronics located on the same layer as the microstrip feed network to minimize any noise or unwanted parasitic effects.

Abstract: A conformal antenna with enhanced circular polarization (“CAECP”) is disclosed. The CAECP includes a plurality of dielectric layers forming a dielectric structure, where a top dielectric layer, of the plurality of dielectric layers, includes a top surface. The CAECP further includes an inner conductor, a coupling element (“CE”), a patch antenna element (“PAE”), a bottom conductor, and an antenna slot. The inner conductor is formed within the dielectric structure, the CE is formed within the dielectric structure above the inner conductor, the PAE is formed on the top surface, and the antenna slot is formed within PAE. The PAE is a conductor and the CAECP is configured to support a transverse electromagnetic (“TEM”) signal within the dielectric structure.
