INTERLEAVED ANTENNA ARRAY CONFIGURATION IN A RADIO NODE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17913597 titled 'INTERLEAVED ANTENNA ARRAY CONFIGURATION IN A RADIO NODE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an interleaved antenna array configuration in a radio node. The antenna array consists of a combination of isolated and non-isolated antenna elements that are arranged in each row and column of the array.
- The isolated antenna elements are only adjacent to one or two non-isolated antenna elements in each row and column, and vice versa for the non-isolated antenna elements.
- This arrangement helps in reducing the number of antenna isolators required, which in turn reduces the cost and footprint of the radio node.
- Additionally, by using a combination of antenna isolators and simplified digital pre-distortion (DPD) actuators, the radio node is able to meet stringent radio frequency (RF) performance requirements.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in various wireless communication systems, such as cellular networks, Wi-Fi networks, and satellite communication systems.
- It can be used in base stations, access points, and other radio nodes to improve the performance and reduce the cost of the antenna array configuration.
Problems Solved
- The interleaved antenna array configuration helps in reducing the number of antenna isolators required, which can be expensive and occupy significant space.
- By using a combination of antenna isolators and simplified DPD actuators, the radio node is able to meet stringent RF performance requirements without compromising on cost and footprint.
Benefits
- Reduced cost and footprint of the radio node due to the reduced number of antenna isolators.
- Improved RF performance by using a combination of antenna isolators and simplified DPD actuators.
- Enhanced performance and efficiency of wireless communication systems by optimizing the antenna array configuration.
Original Abstract Submitted
An interleaved antenna array configuration in a radio node is disclosed. The antenna array includes a mixture of isolated and non-isolated antenna elements interleaved in each row and each column of the antenna array. Each isolated antenna element is only adjacent to one or two non-isolated antenna elements in each row and each column. Each non-isolated antenna element is only adjacent to one or two isolated antenna elements in each row and each column. By interleaving the isolated and non-isolated antenna elements in each row and column of the antenna array, it is possible to reduce a number of antenna isolators, thus helping to reduce cost and footprint of the radio node. Further, by using a combination of antenna isolators and simplified digital pre-distortion (DPD) actuators in association with the interleaved antenna array, the radio node is able to satisfy stringent radio frequency (RF) performance requirements.
