ANTENNA SOLUTION FOR MM-WAVE SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17919655 titled 'ANTENNA SOLUTION FOR MM-WAVE SYSTEMS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes antennas for millimeter wave distributed antenna systems or indoor radio systems. These antennas are designed to provide a static composite radiation pattern, consisting of a static broadside radiation pattern and a static off-center-axis radiation pattern.
- The antenna system includes a first antenna element that generates the static broadside radiation pattern, covering a broadside direction.
- Multiple additional antenna elements are placed near the first antenna element to create the static off-broadside radiation pattern.
- A beamformer is used to feed both the first antenna element and the additional antenna elements, resulting in the static composite radiation pattern.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Millimeter wave distributed antenna systems
- Indoor radio systems
Problems solved by this technology:
- Provides a static composite radiation pattern, which can improve the coverage and performance of antenna systems.
- Allows for the creation of both broadside and off-broadside radiation patterns, providing flexibility in directing the signal.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved coverage and performance of antenna systems.
- Flexibility in directing the signal.
- Suitable for millimeter wave distributed antenna systems and indoor radio systems.
Original Abstract Submitted
Antennas for millimeter wave distributed antenna systems or indoor radio systems are disclosed. According to one aspect, an antenna system is configured to provide a static composite radiation pattern, the static composite radiation pattern having a static broadside radiation pattern and a static off-center-axis radiation pattern. The antenna system includes a first antenna element configured to provide the static broadside radiation pattern, the static broadside pattern encompassing a broadside direction. The antenna system also includes a plurality of additional antenna elements configured in proximity to the first antenna element to provide a static off-broadside radiation pattern, the combination of the static broadside radiation pattern and the static off-broadside radiation pattern providing the static composite radiation pattern. A beamformer is configured to feed the first antenna element and the plurality of additional antenna elements to produce the static off-broadside radiation pattern.
