241 Celestial object identification device US11449269 2006-06-07 US20070283583A1 2007-12-13 John Subbiondo; K. David Crockett
A celestial object locating device according to the present disclosure enables a user to unambiguously identify one or more stars or other celestial objects. The celestial object locating device may also direct a user to a desired celestial object or objects. The device may be useful for locating or identifying stars, constellations, and deep sky objects without knowing a users location or time of day. The celestial object locating device determines the angle between selected visible stars and compares these angles to angles between known stars to determine the location of all other stars. The device includes a 3-axis magnetic field sensor and a 3-axis gravitational field sensor that operate with a processor and an electronic database to perform the required calculations. The device's database may be updated using any suitable method such as flash drives, network connections or other.
242 Aperture transformation sidelobe canceller US484844 1983-04-14 US4628321A 1986-12-09 Gayle P. Martin
An aperture transformation sidelobe canceller includes a plurality of auxiliary feed elements disposed in the vicinity of, but critically offset from, a main feed horn. The signal paths for the auxiliary feed horns are coupled through a low loss cascade RF variable direction coupler network to be combined with the RF signal path for the main antenna feed. The combined signal path is coupled to a performance monitoring processor which, in turn, adjusts the coupling action of each variable directional coupler to achieve the necessary weighting and combining of the auxiliary feed signal paths. The critically offset auxiliary feed elements provide the capability of achieving very broadband and deep nulls from the simple variable directional coupler network. The null availability makes it possible to null the entirety of the main elements sidelobe region, including backlobe and even the first sidelobe region of the antenna pattern, as the offset auxiliary feed horns provide substantial coverage in this region. These offset auxiliary feed elements provide low differential dispersion, require reduced waveguide runs, enjoy polarization diversity by slightly depolarizing and rotating each feed and suffer essentially no grating problems.
