PARTIALLY-CONNECTED PHASE PROGRESSION MATRIXES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17877972 titled 'PARTIALLY-CONNECTED PHASE PROGRESSION MATRIXES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for selecting an antenna beam. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method involves selecting a beam port from a first phase progression matrix and a beam port from a second phase progression matrix.
  • The first phase progression matrix has a subset of antenna ports terminated in first characteristic impedances, while the second phase progression matrix has a subset of antenna ports terminated in second characteristic impedances.
  • The method includes combining receive signal portions from the selected beam ports of both matrices or providing transmit signal portions to the selected beam ports of both matrices.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication systems
  • Satellite communication systems
  • Radar systems
  • Radio frequency identification (RFID) systems

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Improved beamforming in antenna systems
  • Enhanced signal reception and transmission
  • Reduction of interference and noise

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased signal strength and quality
  • Improved communication range and coverage
  • Enhanced system performance and reliability


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of selecting an antenna beam includes: selecting a beam port of a first phase progression matrix having a first subset of antenna ports terminated in respective first characteristic impedances; selecting a beam port of a second phase progression matrix that is separate from the first phase progression matrix and has a second subset of antenna ports terminated in respective second characteristic impedances; and at least one of: combining a first receive signal portion from the selected beam port of the first phase progression matrix and a second receive signal portion from the selected beam port of the second phase progression matrix, or providing a first portion of a transmit signal to the selected beam port of the first phase progression matrix and a second portion of the transmit signal to the selected beam port of the second phase progression matrix.
