BEAMFORMING REPEATER WITH META-SURFACE ANTENNAS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17721979 Titled 'BEAMFORMING REPEATER WITH META-SURFACE ANTENNAS'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a wireless repeater device that uses two meta-surface antennas to receive and transmit RF signals. The device includes a signal relay chain that amplifies the received signal from the first antenna and transmits it through the second antenna. Alternatively, the relay chain can also receive the signal directly from the first antenna's reception port and transmit it through the antenna's transmit port.


Original Abstract Submitted

A wireless repeater receives an RF signal at a first meta-surface antenna. A signal relay chain amplifies a received RF signal from the first meta-surface antenna into a transmit RF signal that is transmitted by a second meta-surface antenna. Alternatively, the signal relay chain receives the RF signal at a reception port of the first meta-surface antenna, which may include a transmit port for receiving the transmit RF signal.
