Dual Mode Antenna Arrangement - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17916515 titled 'Dual Mode Antenna Arrangement

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an antenna arrangement that includes a differential mode antenna and a common mode antenna. The arrangement consists of an antenna structure with one radiating element, at least one differential antenna feed to induce differential mode currents, and at least one common antenna feed to induce common mode currents in the radiating element. The antenna structure is designed to operate in multiple radiofrequency ranges.

  • The antenna arrangement includes a differential mode antenna and a common mode antenna.
  • The antenna structure has one radiating element.
  • At least one differential antenna feed induces differential mode currents in the radiating element.
  • At least one common antenna feed induces common mode currents in the radiating element.
  • The antenna structure can operate in a first and second radiofrequency range using the differential and common mode currents.
  • The first and second antenna elements can operate in a third radiofrequency range using the differential or common mode currents.
  • The arrangement allows for two antennas to be placed in the same volume while maintaining high isolation between them.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Wireless communication systems
  • Mobile devices
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices
  • Satellite communication systems

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Limited space for multiple antennas
  • Interference between antennas
  • Maintaining high isolation between antennas

Benefits of this technology:

  • Efficient use of space by locating multiple antennas in the same volume
  • High level of isolation between antennas to minimize interference
  • Wide range of radiofrequency operation for versatile applications


Original Abstract Submitted

An antenna arrangement—comprising a differential mode antenna—and a common mode antenna, the antenna arrangement—comprising an antenna structure comprising one radiating element, at least one differential antenna feed configured to induce differential mode currents in the radiating element, and at least one common antenna feed configured to induce common mode currents in the radiating element. The antenna structure is configured to excite a first radiofrequency range and a second radiofrequency range in response to the differential mode currents and the common mode currents. The first antenna element and the second antenna element are configured to excite a third radiofrequency range in response to the differential mode currents or the common mode currents. This arrangement makes it possible to locate two antennas in the same given volume while maintaining a high level of isolation between the antennas.
