RADIO FREQUENCY DOMAIN BEAMFORMING ROUTER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17883183 titled 'RADIO FREQUENCY DOMAIN BEAMFORMING ROUTER

Simplified Explanation

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in this patent application. The innovation involves using RF-domain wireless routers to repeat, extend, or redirect beamformed wireless signals from transmitters to receivers. Here are the key points:

  • The router receives transmissions at a mmW frequency using an array of antenna elements.
  • The transmissions are then provided to a beamforming network, such as a Butler matrix.
  • The beamforming network outputs one or more signals to a switching network.
  • The switching network performs switching to provide the signals to desired inputs of an output beamforming network.
  • The output beamforming network then outputs beamformed transmission beams via another array of antenna elements.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Extending the range of wireless signals in a network.
  • Improving the coverage and reliability of wireless communications.
  • Enhancing the performance of wireless networks in crowded or challenging environments.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Overcoming limitations in the range and coverage of wireless signals.
  • Addressing interference and signal degradation issues in wireless communications.
  • Improving the overall efficiency and reliability of wireless networks.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Increased range and coverage of wireless signals.
  • Enhanced performance and reliability of wireless communications.
  • Improved efficiency and capacity of wireless networks.


Original Abstract Submitted

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described in which RF-domain wireless routers may repeat, extend, or redirect beamformed wireless signals received from one or more transmitters to one or more receivers. The router may receive transmissions at a mmW frequency using a first array of antenna elements, and provide the transmissions to a beamforming network, such as a Butler matrix, that outputs one or more a signals to a switching network. The switching network may perform switching to provide the one or more signals to desired inputs of an output beamforming network that outputs beamformed transmission beams via a second array of antenna elements.
