Applied Radar Introduces New Line of Textile Antennas.N. KINGSTOWN, R.I. -- Applied Radar announced today the introduction of a new line of electronic textile (or E-textile) antennas that enable higher performance and lower cost OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and wireless and radar products. This technology will also help the US textile industry, which has recently suffered from off-shore competition. "Electronic textiles promise novel methods of producing lightweight, flexible antennas with performance surpassing current solutions to address a wide variety of applications," explained Dr. Bill Weedon, President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Applied Radar, Inc. "What's exciting about this new technology is that the E-textile manufacturing methods enable a drastic cost reduction and a seamless integration An addition of a new application, routine or device that works smoothly with the existing system. It implies that the new feature or program can be installed and used without problems. Contrast with "transparent," which implies that there is no discernible change after installation. into the environment. In addition, conformal con·for·mal adj. 1. Mathematics Designating or specifying a mapping of a surface or region upon another surface so that all angles between intersecting curves remain unchanged. 2. encapsulation (1) In object technology, the creation of self-contained modules that contain both the data and the processing. See object-oriented programming. (2) The transmission of one network protocol within another. of E-textile electronics opens new frontiers to system designers in the aircraft, shipbuilding, and automotive industries Automotive Industries, Ltd. (Hebrew: תעשיות רכב נצרת עלית, תע"ר ." The ET-100 series of antennas are lighter weight and lower cost than traditional printed circuit alternatives and provide enhanced compatibility, improved manufacturability and performance. This textile technology is expected to displace traditional printed circuit antenna technology in many applications. In addition, the flexibility provided offers a range of new applications -- from aesthetically pleasing home wireless to wearable fashion-enhancing garment antennas. A sister technology, ET-Conformal, enables Applied Radar to provide system integrators and OEM product designers with the opportunity to integrate very low cost antennas into such products as ceiling tiles, airframes, vehicles, and ship hulls. Current applications cover frequencies to 3 GHz, with a further extension to 12 GHz expected shortly. Applied Radar, Inc. is a high-tech research and development company specializing in the rapid prototyping of microwave and RF sensing, communicating and navigating systems. The company specializes in product development for both commercial applications and military customers. Applied Radar has extensive expertise in RF and microwave design from VHF (Very High Frequency) The range of electromagnetic frequencies from 30 MHz to 300 MHz. to 94 GHz, including a wide range of antennas, microstrip/stripline microwave circuits and MMIC-based surface mount electronics.
