ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING ANTENNA - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18327502 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING ANTENNA
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device with an antenna array that can communicate with a signal source outside the device using ultra-wideband technology.
- The device includes multiple antenna elements and a wireless communication circuit.
- The wireless communication circuit can simultaneously transmit two linearly polarized waves through different antenna elements.
- The electric field of the first wave oscillates in one direction, while the electric field of the second wave oscillates in a different direction at an acute angle to the first direction.
- The device's processor is connected to the wireless communication circuit and can perform a positioning function based on the time difference between signals received through the first and second antenna elements.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to an example embodiment of the disclosure, an electronic device may include: an antenna array comprising a plurality of antenna elements; a wireless communication circuit configured to perform communication with a signal source outside of the electronic device through the antenna array in an ultra-wideband (UWB); and a processor electrically connected to the wireless communication circuit, wherein the wireless communication circuit is configured to simultaneously radiate a first linearly polarized wave through a first antenna element among the plurality of antenna elements and a second linearly polarized wave through a second antenna element among the plurality of antenna elements, wherein an electric field of the first linearly polarized wave oscillates in a first direction, and wherein an electric field of the second linearly polarized wave oscillates in a second direction at an acute angle with respect to the first direction, and wherein the processor is configured to perform a positioning function with respect to the signal source based on a difference between arrival times of signals received from the signal source through the first and second antenna elements.
