A meander-type, frequency-scanned antenna with reduced beam squint suitable for use on an automated vehicle radar system includes a plurality of parallel sub-arrays, each sub-array equipped with a plurality of radiators. The antenna is formed by a serpentine-arrangement of a continuous-strip of material. The serpentine-arrangement configured so a first sub-array characterized by a signal propagating in a first-direction is adjacent to a second sub-array characterized by the signal propagating in a second-direction opposite the first-direction. The first sub-array and the second sub-array are each further configured to define a plurality of radiators configured such that a radar-beam emitted by the antenna in response to the signal is characterized by a direction-angle that is substantially unchanged when a frequency of the signal is varied.

Techniques for implementing series-fed antenna arrays with a variable dielectric waveguide. In one implementation, coupling elements with optional controlled phase shifters are placed adjacent each radiating element of the array. To avoid frequency sensitivity of the resulting array, one or more waveguides have a variable propagation constant. The variable waveguide may use certain materials exhibiting this phenomenon, or may have configurable gaps between layers. Plated-through holes and pins can control the gaps; and/or a 2-D circular or a rectangular travelling wave array of scattering elements can be used as well.

An apparatus for separating ions having different mass or charge includes a waveguide conduit coupled to a microwave source for transmitting microwaves through openings in the waveguide conduit. The outlet ends of pipes are positioned at the openings for transporting material from a material source to the openings. A plasma chamber is in communication with the waveguide tube through the openings. The plasma chamber receives through the openings microwaves from the waveguide tube and material from the pipes. The plasma chamber includes magnets disposed in an outer wall thereof for forming a magnetic field in the plasma chamber. The plasma chamber includes a charged cover at a side of the chamber opposite the side containing the openings. The cover includes extraction holes through which ion beams from the plasma chamber are extracted. Deflectors coupled to one of the extraction holes receive the ion beams extracted from the plasma chamber. Each deflector bends an ion beam and provides separate passages for capturing ions following different trajectories from the bending of the ion beam based on their respective mass or charge.
