ANTENNA MODULE AND ARRAY ANTENNA - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18353897 titled 'ANTENNA MODULE AND ARRAY ANTENNA

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an array antenna made up of multiple antenna modules.

  • Each antenna module consists of a dielectric substrate, a ground electrode, and a sub-array.
  • The sub-array is composed of radiating elements that face the ground electrode.
  • The radiating elements are arranged in a matrix and have multiple feeding points.
  • The sub-array is located at the end of the dielectric substrate, with its center shifted towards the end.
  • The end of one antenna module faces the end of another antenna module in a specific direction.


Original Abstract Submitted

An array antenna is formed of a plurality of antenna modules disposed adjacent to each other and including a plurality of antenna modules. Each of the antenna modules includes a dielectric substrate, a ground electrode, and a sub-array. The sub-array is formed of a plurality of radiating elements facing the ground electrode. In the sub-array, the plurality of radiating elements are arranged in a matrix, and each includes multiple feeding points. The sub-array is disposed along an end portion of the dielectric substrate. The sub-array has a center deviated from a center of the dielectric substrate toward the end portion. An end portion of a first antenna module faces an end portion of a second antenna module in a first direction that is defined as a direction from the first antenna module toward the second antenna module.
