AUTO-CORRECTION OF ANTENNA GEOMETRY USING METAMATERIALS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17936633 titled 'AUTO-CORRECTION OF ANTENNA GEOMETRY USING METAMATERIALS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system with a communications antenna that can change shape in response to an external stimulus, along with components to detect and correct performance issues.
- The system includes a communications antenna that changes shape in response to an external stimulus.
- An antenna performance detector is used to measure the performance of the communications antenna.
- A distortion correction component receives the performance indication, determines the amount of distortion in the antenna shape, and adjusts the external stimulus accordingly to correct the shape.
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in:
- Satellite communications
- Radar systems
- Wireless networks
Problems Solved
The technology addresses issues such as:
- Signal interference
- Signal loss
- Poor antenna performance
Benefits

- Improved signal quality
- Enhanced communication reliability
- Increased antenna efficiency
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications include:
- Telecommunications industry
- Defense sector
- Aerospace industry
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be:
- Shape-memory materials used in antennas
Unanswered Questions
How does the system determine the optimal amount of external stimulus to apply to the antenna?
The system likely uses algorithms and feedback mechanisms to adjust the stimulus based on performance indicators.
What materials are commonly used for antennas that can change shape?
Shape-memory alloys and polymers are commonly used in antennas that can change shape.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system can comprise a communications antenna comprising a material that is configured to change shape in response to being stimulated with an external stimulus. The system can comprise an antenna performance detector that is configured to detect a measure of performance of the communications antenna. The system can comprise a distortion correction component that is configured to receive an indication of the measure of performance, determine an amount of distortion of the shape of the communications antenna based on the indication of the measure of performance, based on the amount of distortion, determine an amount of the external stimulus with which to stimulate the communications antenna, and selectively apply the amount of the external stimulus to the communications antenna to change the shape of the communications antenna.
