COMMUNICATION USING A DUAL POLARIZED ANTENNA ARRAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18034629 titled 'COMMUNICATION USING A DUAL POLARIZED ANTENNA ARRAY
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for communication in a wireless access network using a dual polarized antenna array. The antenna array consists of antenna elements with two different polarizations.
- The method involves transmitting a signal on a first link of the network using a transmit antenna port connected to both polarizations of the antenna elements.
- The method also involves receiving a signal on a second link of the network using a first receive antenna port connected to the first polarization and a second receive antenna port connected to the second polarization.
- The transmit beam and receive beams are designed to have overlapping power patterns.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Wireless communication networks
- Cellular networks
- Wi-Fi networks
Problems solved by this technology:
- Improved communication efficiency in wireless access networks
- Enhanced signal reception and transmission capabilities
Benefits of this technology:
- Increased network capacity and coverage
- Reduced interference and improved signal quality
- Enhanced data rates and reliability
Original Abstract Submitted
There is provided mechanisms for communication in a wireless access network using a dual polarized antenna array. The antenna array comprises antenna elements of a first polarization and of a second polarization. A method comprises transmitting a first signal via a transmit antenna port in a transmit beam on a first link of the wireless access network. The transmit antenna port is connected to the antenna elements of both the first polarization and the second polarization. The method comprises receiving a second signal on a second link of the wireless access network via a first receive antenna port in a first receive beam and via a second receive antenna port in a second receive beam. The first receive antenna port is connected to antenna elements of the first polarization and the second receive antenna port is connected to antenna elements of the second polarization. The receive beams and the transmit beam fulfil an overlap criterion with respect to their total power patterns.
