Abstract:
A phased array antenna device including: a conductive ground plane body structure including a series of through apertures; a structural spacing layer having known dielectric and structural properties, for holding an active layer in a predetermined stable spaced apart relationship to the ground plane body structure; a active surface layer spaced apart from the ground plane body structure and supported by said structural spacing layer, said active layer including a series of tile components, said tile components including a number of active conductive elements formed on a non conductive substrate, said active components being interconnected to corresponding driving electronics by conductive feeds formed through said apertures.
Abstract:
A low noise amplifier circuit including: at least a first input and first output; at least a first stage of transistor amplification having a transistor input terminal; the circuit further comprising: an input driving circuit interconnecting the first input to the transistor input terminal, the input driving circuit including a parallel resonant circuit interconnected between the transistor input terminal and ground and a series resonant circuit interconnected between the input terminal and the transistor input terminal, the input driving circuit functioning as an input matching network for the circuit in conjunction with an input bias and decoupling network.
