RADIO FREQUENCY BEAMFORMING DEVICE WITH CYLINDRICAL LENSES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240055771 titled 'RADIO FREQUENCY BEAMFORMING DEVICE WITH CYLINDRICAL LENSES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system and techniques for radio frequency (RF) beamforming using a plurality of differently skewed cylindrical lenses. The system includes cylindrical lenses with a first surface and a second surface. Each cylindrical lens has a power direction corresponding to the curvature of the first surface and a non-power direction orthogonal to the power direction. The system also includes linear antenna arrays placed near the second surface of each cylindrical lens, with multiple antenna array elements.

  • The system uses a plurality of differently skewed cylindrical lenses for RF beamforming.
  • Each cylindrical lens has a first surface and a second surface.
  • The first surface of each cylindrical lens has a curvature that determines the power direction.
  • The second surface of each cylindrical lens is opposite to the first surface.
  • The second surface of each cylindrical lens is equipped with a linear antenna array.
  • The linear antenna array consists of multiple antenna array elements.

Potential Applications:

  • Wireless communication systems
  • Cellular networks
  • Satellite communication systems
  • Radar systems
  • Wireless sensor networks

Problems Solved:

  • Improved RF beamforming performance
  • Enhanced signal transmission and reception
  • Reduction of interference and noise
  • Increased coverage and capacity in wireless communication systems

Benefits:

  • Higher signal quality and reliability
  • Improved network performance and efficiency
  • Enhanced communication range and coverage
  • Reduced interference and noise levels
  • Increased capacity for simultaneous connections


Original Abstract Submitted

systems and techniques are provided for radio frequency (rf) beamforming using a plurality of differently skewed cylindrical lenses. in one example, an apparatus for wireless communication may include a plurality of cylindrical lenses, each respective cylindrical lens of the plurality of cylindrical lenses having a respective first surface and a respective second surface opposite to the respective first surface. each respective cylindrical lens can include a power direction corresponding to a curvature of each respective first surface and a non-power direction that is orthogonal to the power direction. the apparatus can further include at least one linear antenna array disposed proximate to each respective second surface of each respective cylindrical lens, the at least one linear antenna array including a plurality of antenna array elements.
