Abstract of Patent Application(s)

    Method and apparatus for a frequency diverse array. Radio frequency 
signals are generated and applied to a power divider network. A 
progressive frequency shift is applied to all radio frequency signals 
across all spatial channels. Amplitude weighting signals are applied 
for sidelobe control. Phase control is included for channel 
compensation and to provide nominal beam steering. The progressive 
frequency offsets generate a new term which cause the antenna beam to 
focus in different directions as a function of range. Alternative 
embodiments generate different waveforms to be applied to each 
radiating element, permitting the transmission of multiple signals at 
the same time.

Intellectual Property

--WICKS ET AL, U.S. Patent No. 7,319,427, issued on 15 January 2008, 
and entitled ``Frequency Diverse Array with Independent Modulation of 
Frequency, Amplitude, and Phase.''

    The Department of the Air Force may grant the prospective license 
unless a timely objection is received that sufficiently shows the grant 
of the license would be inconsistent with the Bayh-Dole Act or 
implementing regulations. A competing application for a patent license 
agreement, completed in compliance with 37 CFR 404.8 and received by 
the Air Force within the period for timely objections, will be treated 
as an objection and may be considered as an alternative to the proposed 
license.
    Authority: 35 U.S.C. 209; 37 CFR 404.

Tommy W. Lee,
Acting Air Force Federal Register Liaison Officer.
