FOLDABLE ARRAY ANTENNA PANEL FOR CELLSITE RESILIENCY AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Abstract: a foldable phased array antenna panel system for massive multiple-input multiple-output (mmimo) radio functionality in a wireless network includes: three foldable phased array antenna panels each including a first sub-panel and a second sub-panel conductively coupled to each other via a folding structure defining a folding axis, and each of the first and second sub-panels includes multiple antenna elements. each foldable phased array antenna panel is configured to be selectively operated in one of two modes: i) a flat panel mode, in which the first and second sub-panels are in a single flat plane; and ii) a folded panel mode, in which the first and second sub-panels are in two different planes meeting at an obtuse folding angle at a vertex defined by the folding axis. if one panel experiences outage, the remaining antenna panels extend their coverage sectors to cover the sector of the antenna panel experiencing outage.
