GAIN PATTERN OVERLAP REDUCTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18348209 Titled 'GAIN PATTERN OVERLAP REDUCTION'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a wireless communication device that has two antennas. The first antenna has a specific direction and provides a certain level of signal strength at a high-frequency radio wave. The second antenna has a different direction and provides a different level of signal strength at the same high-frequency radio wave. The device also includes an electrically-conductive device. When the first antenna is combined with the electrically-conductive device, it creates a third pattern of signal strength that is different from the second antenna's pattern. This third pattern has a greater difference in signal strength compared to the second antenna's pattern over a range of angles relative to the device.


Original Abstract Submitted

A wireless communication device includes: a first antenna configured to provide a first gain pattern at a millimeter-wave radio frequency and having a first boresight direction; a second antenna configured to provide a second gain pattern at the millimeter-wave radio frequency and having a second boresight direction that is different from the first boresight direction; and an electrically-conductive device; where the first antenna, in combination with the electrically-conductive device, is configured to provide a third gain pattern that has a first gain differential relative to the second gain pattern that is greater than a second gain differential between the first gain pattern and the second gain pattern over a range of angles relative to the wireless communication device.
