ANTENNA ARRAY WITH INDEPENDENTLY ROTATED RADIATING ELEMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240021983 titled 'ANTENNA ARRAY WITH INDEPENDENTLY ROTATED RADIATING ELEMENTS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an antenna array that consists of multiple antenna cells positioned in a global coordinate system. Each antenna cell has its own local coordinate system and includes a radiating element with a predetermined angle of rotation in the global coordinate system, as well as an antenna port connected to the radiating element. The antenna port is located at a specific set of coordinates in the respective local coordinate system, which can be the same for all antenna cells.

  • The antenna array includes multiple antenna cells positioned in a global coordinate system.
  • Each antenna cell has its own local coordinate system.
  • Each antenna cell includes a radiating element with a predetermined angle of rotation in the global coordinate system.
  • Each antenna cell also includes an antenna port connected to the radiating element.
  • The antenna port is located at a specific set of coordinates in the respective local coordinate system.
  • The specific set of coordinates of the antenna port can be the same for all antenna cells.

Potential Applications:

  • Wireless communication systems
  • Radar systems
  • Satellite communication systems
  • Radio astronomy

Problems Solved:

  • Efficiently transmitting and receiving signals in different directions
  • Optimizing signal coverage and reception in a specific area
  • Minimizing interference and maximizing signal quality

Benefits:

  • Increased signal coverage and reception capabilities
  • Improved signal quality and reliability
  • Flexibility in directing and focusing signals in different directions
  • Enhanced performance and efficiency in wireless communication systems


Original Abstract Submitted

an antenna array that can include a plurality of antenna cells positioned in a global coordinate system of the antenna array. each of the plurality of antenna cells has a respective local coordinate system and can include a radiating element having a predetermined angle of rotation defined in the global coordinate system and an antenna port coupled to the radiating element, the antenna port being positioned at a particular set of coordinates in the respective local coordinate system. the particular set of coordinates of the antenna port of each of the plurality of antenna cells can be the same.
