SIDE LOBE LEVEL ENHANCEMENT IN AN ARRAY ANTENNA - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17912128 titled 'SIDE LOBE LEVEL ENHANCEMENT IN AN ARRAY ANTENNA
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an array antenna arrangement that includes multiple sub-array antennas. Each sub-array antenna is mounted to form a column, and each sub-array antenna has a corresponding port and beam pointing direction setting.
- The array antenna arrangement consists of multiple sub-array antennas.
- Each sub-array antenna is mounted to form a column.
- Each sub-array antenna has a corresponding port and beam pointing direction setting.
- The sub-array antenna ports are connected to radio chains that provide digital antenna beam pointing direction settings.
- In some cases, the sub-array beam pointing direction setting may differ from the digital antenna beam pointing direction setting.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Wireless communication systems
- Radar systems
- Satellite communication systems
Problems solved by this technology:
- Improved beamforming capabilities
- Enhanced signal reception and transmission
- Increased flexibility in antenna beam pointing direction settings
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved performance and efficiency of array antenna systems
- Increased adaptability to different communication scenarios
- Enhanced signal quality and coverage
Original Abstract Submitted
The present disclosure relates to an array antenna arrangement comprising at least one set of at least two sub-array antennas. Each set of sub-array antennas is mounted such that a corresponding array antenna column is formed. For each polarization in each set of sub-array antennas, each sub-array antenna comprises a corresponding sub-array antenna port that is associated with a certain sub-array antenna beam pointing direction setting, and each sub-array antenna port is connected to a corresponding radio chain in a set of radio chains, where each set of radio chains is adapted to provide a corresponding digital antenna beam pointing direction setting. In at least one set of sub-array antennas, at least one sub-array beam pointing direction setting, differs from a corresponding digital antenna beam pointing direction setting.
