TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE ANTENNA ARRAY CONFIGURATION FOR RADIO FREQUENCY BEAMFORMING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17739017 titled 'TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE ANTENNA ARRAY CONFIGURATION FOR RADIO FREQUENCY BEAMFORMING
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes techniques and apparatuses for radio frequency (RF) beamforming using a cylindrical lens and interleaved receive and transmit antenna arrays. - The apparatus includes a cylindrical lens with a curved second surface and a first surface. - The cylindrical lens has a power direction corresponding to the curvature of the second surface and a non-power direction orthogonal to it. - The apparatus includes at least one receive antenna array with multiple receive antenna array elements placed near the first surface of the cylindrical lens. - The apparatus also includes at least one transmit antenna array with multiple transmit antenna array elements placed near the first surface of the cylindrical lens.
Original Abstract Submitted
Some techniques and apparatuses described herein provide radio frequency (RF) beamforming using a cylindrical lens and interleaved receive and transmit antenna arrays. In one example, an apparatus for wireless communication may include a cylindrical lens having a first surface and a curved second surface opposite to the first surface. In some cases, the cylindrical lens may include a power direction corresponding to a curvature of the curved second surface and a non-power direction that is orthogonal to the power direction. In some aspects, the apparatus can include at least one receive antenna array disposed proximate to the first surface of the cylindrical lens that has a plurality of receive antenna array elements. In some examples, the apparatus can include at least one transmit antenna array disposed proximate to the first surface of the cylindrical lens that has a plurality of transmit antenna array elements.
