ANTENNA SYSTEM, RF COMMUNICATION DEVICE, AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18274237 titled 'ANTENNA SYSTEM, RF COMMUNICATION DEVICE, AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure is related to an antenna system, a radio frequency (RF) communication device including the same, and a method of operating the same. The antenna system includes an antenna array with one or more sub-arrays of antenna elements, where at least one sub-array can operate in multiple states. A state switching circuit is electrically coupled to the sub-array and can drive it to operate in a first state suppressing an upper side lobe of the antenna array for a first beam tilting range, or in a second state suppressing the upper side lobe for a different beam tilting range.
- Antenna system with sub-arrays of antenna elements
- State switching circuit for controlling sub-array operation
- Suppressing upper side lobe for different beam tilting ranges
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Wireless communication systems
- Radar systems
- Satellite communication systems
Problems Solved
This technology helps in:
- Improving beam tilting range control
- Enhancing antenna array performance

Unanswered Questions
How does the state switching circuit determine the optimal beam tilting range for the antenna array?
The article does not provide specific details on how the state switching circuit calculates and selects the appropriate beam tilting range for the antenna array.
What are the potential limitations of operating the sub-array in multiple states?
The article does not discuss any potential drawbacks or challenges that may arise from operating the sub-array in different states.

The present disclosure is related to an antenna system, a radio frequency (RF) communication device including the same, and a method of operating the same. The antenna system includes an antenna array including one or more sub-arrays of antenna elements in which at least one sub-array being operable in more than one state; a state switching circuit electrically coupled to the at least one sub-array and configured to drive the at least one sub-array to operate in a first state in which an upper side lobe of the antenna array is suppressed for a first beam tilting range or in a second state in which an upper side lobe of the antenna array is suppressed for a second beam tilting range which is different from the first beam tilting range.
