Antenna with expansion compensation structures for thermal expansion
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11909091B2) discloses an innovative antenna design featuring an array of antenna elements coupled to a structure with components made of materials having different coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs). The structure includes components pin bonded together, with additional components between them having slots for pins to traverse, allowing movement due to thermal expansion. This design enables the antenna to adjust and maintain optimal performance in response to temperature changes.
The patent claims detail various aspects of the antenna, including the use of materials with different CTEs for components, the incorporation of pins that do not impact radio-frequency propagation, and the inclusion of dielectric materials in the antenna feed. Additionally, the array of antenna elements is designed to radiate radio-frequency (RF) energy, with the possibility of utilizing RF radiating metamaterial antenna elements. Overall, this patented antenna design showcases a novel approach to addressing thermal expansion issues in antennas, ensuring consistent performance across varying temperature conditions while maintaining efficient RF energy radiation.
