BEAM BASED BEAMFORMERS FOR PROVIDING HIGH GAIN BEAMS IN 8T8R DUAL POLARIZED BEAMFORMERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240014552 titled 'BEAM BASED BEAMFORMERS FOR PROVIDING HIGH GAIN BEAMS IN 8T8R DUAL POLARIZED BEAMFORMERS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a cellular beamforming base station antenna that includes a reflector, signal ports, a calibration circuit, beamformers, and radiating elements. The radiating elements are arranged in vertically aligned columns across the width of the reflector and in horizontally aligned rows along the length of the reflector. The elements in each row are connected to different beamformers, and the outputs of these beamformers are connected to a calibration circuit located at the bottom of the reflector.

  • The antenna includes a reflector, signal ports, beamformers, and radiating elements.
  • The radiating elements are arranged in vertically aligned columns and horizontally aligned rows.
  • Elements in each row are connected to different beamformers.
  • The outputs of the beamformers are connected to a calibration circuit located at the bottom of the reflector.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Cellular communication networks
  • Wireless communication systems
  • Base station antennas

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Improved beamforming capabilities
  • Enhanced signal transmission and reception
  • Increased coverage and capacity of cellular networks

Benefits of this technology:

  • Higher data rates and improved network performance
  • Reduced interference and improved signal quality
  • Enhanced coverage and capacity for cellular networks


Original Abstract Submitted

a cellular beamforming base station antenna is provided having a reflector, a plurality of signal ports located at the bottom of said reflector, a calibration circuit, a plurality of beamformers, coupled to the signal ports, and a plurality of radiating elements, coupled to the beamformers. the plurality of radiating elements are arranged into a plurality of vertically aligned columns disposed across a width of the reflector, the plurality of radiating elements are each also positioned in one of a plurality of horizontally aligned rows along the length of the reflector. elements in one of the plurality of rows of elements are connected to at least a first of the plurality of beamformers. elements in another of the plurality of rows of elements are connected to a second of the plurality of beamformers. outputs of the first and second beamformers are connected to the calibration circuit which is connected to different ports located on a bottom of the reflector.
