Thales had four patents in 3D printing during Q2 2024. Thales SA filed a patent for a device controlling radiofrequency beams using cells with support frames and excitation elements. The cells emit and receive beams in an invariant manner based on beam propagation direction. The support frame is tubular in shape, oriented along axis Z, with variable width slots between entrance and exit points. Slot width varies along Z, with minimum at a specific position and maximum at the exit determined by perimeter and number of slots.

Application: Device for controlling rf electromagnetic beams according to their angle of incidence, and manufacturing method (Patent ID: US20240170852A1)

The patent filed by Thales SA describes a device for controlling radiofrequency beams, consisting of a set of cells with support frames and excitation elements that emit and receive beams in a consistent manner based on the beam's direction of propagation. The support frame is tubular in shape, oriented along the Z-axis of a reference frame, with a variable slot width along the Z-axis, ranging from a minimum value at a specific position to a maximum value at the exit. The maximum slot width is determined by the perimeter of the cross-section and the number of slots in the frame.

The claims of the patent detail the configuration and functionality of the device, including the association of slots with slot edges and variability functions, the use of longitudinal metal ridges or Vivaldi antipodal transitions as excitation elements, and the manufacturing method involving 3D printing techniques. The device is designed to emit and receive radiofrequency beams consistently, with each cell configured to operate in an invariant manner based on the direction of propagation. The patent also specifies the structure of the support frame, the excitation elements, and the manufacturing process, highlighting the innovative design and functionality of the device for controlling radiofrequency beams.
