RADIO FREQUENCY BEAMFORMING DEVICE WITH CYLINDRICAL LENS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17739012 titled 'RADIO FREQUENCY BEAMFORMING DEVICE WITH CYLINDRICAL LENS
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes techniques and apparatuses for implementing radio frequency (RF) beamforming using a cylindrical lens. - The cylindrical lens is used to enable phased array beamforming in one direction and lensed beamforming in a second direction. - The apparatus for wireless communication includes a cylindrical lens with a first surface and a second surface. - The 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 apparatus also includes multiple linear antenna arrays positioned near the second surface of the cylindrical lens. - Each linear antenna array consists of multiple antenna array elements.
Original Abstract Submitted
Some techniques and apparatuses described herein provide radio frequency (RF) beamforming using a cylindrical lens for implementing phased array beamforming in one direction and lensed beamforming in a second direction. In one example, an apparatus for wireless communication may include a cylindrical lens having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. In some cases, the cylindrical lens may include a power direction that corresponds to a curvature of the first surface and a non-power direction that is orthogonal to the power direction. In some aspects, the apparatus can include a plurality of linear antenna arrays disposed proximate to the second surface of the cylindrical lens, wherein each linear antenna array of the plurality of linear antenna arrays includes a plurality of antenna array elements.
