MODEM SUPPORTING DIGITAL PRE-DISTORTION, ANTENNA MODULE, AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18345061 titled 'MODEM SUPPORTING DIGITAL PRE-DISTORTION, ANTENNA MODULE, AND METHOD FOR OPERATING SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an antenna module that includes antennas, RF chains, a splitter/combiner, a mixer, couplers, and a power detector. The module can upconvert an IF signal into a transmission RF signal and downconvert a reception RF signal. It also measures the magnitude of the transmission and reception signals.
- The antenna module includes antennas, RF chains, a splitter/combiner, a mixer, couplers, and a power detector.
- The module can upconvert an IF signal into a transmission RF signal and downconvert a reception RF signal.
- It includes a splitter/combiner to combine signals from the RF chains and split the transmission and reception signals.
- The mixer is configured to upconvert the IF signal into a transmission RF signal and downconvert the reception RF signal.
- The first couplers are connected between the RF chains and the antennas.
- The second coupler measures the magnitude of the transmission RF signal before split and/or the reception RF signal combined by the splitter/combiner.
- The power detector provides magnitudes of signals from the first couplers and the magnitude of the signal from the second coupler.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Wireless communication systems
- Satellite communication systems
- Radar systems
- Mobile devices
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient upconversion and downconversion of RF signals
- Accurate measurement of signal magnitudes
- Integration of multiple antennas and RF chains
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved signal transmission and reception quality
- Enhanced performance of wireless communication systems
- Compact and integrated antenna module design
- Accurate measurement of signal magnitudes for monitoring and optimization purposes
Original Abstract Submitted
An antenna module may include antennas, RF chains connected to the antennas, a splitter/combiner connected to the RF chains, a mixer configured to upconvert an IF signal input to the antenna module into a transmission RF signal and output the upconverted signal to the splitter/combiner and/or to downconvert a reception RF signal which is a combination of signals from the RF chains provided from the splitter/combiner, a plurality of first couplers connected between the RF chains and the antennas, a second coupler for measuring a magnitude corresponding to a transmission RF signal before split by the splitter/combiner and/or the reception RF signal combined by the splitter/combiner, and a power detector configured to provide a plurality of magnitudes of a plurality of signals from the plurality of first couplers and a magnitude of a signal from the second coupler.
