ANTENNA DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240347924 titled 'ANTENNA DEVICE
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a solution to the issue of diffracted radio waves affecting the reception of radio waves in a conventional antenna setup. By using a shield wall and a polarized wave converter unit, the diffracted waves are converted to circularly polarized wave components, reducing their impact on reception.
- The shield wall and polarized wave converter unit are placed between the transmitting and receiving antenna units.
- The polarized wave converter unit converts vertically polarized wave components of diffracted waves to circularly polarized wave components.
- This conversion reduces the impact of diffracted waves on the reception of radio waves in the receiving antenna.
- By preventing diffracted waves from affecting reception, the technology improves the overall performance of the antenna system.
Potential Applications: 1. Satellite communication systems 2. Radar systems 3. Wireless communication networks
Problems Solved: 1. Minimizing the impact of diffracted waves on reception quality 2. Enhancing the performance of antenna systems in the presence of obstacles
Benefits: 1. Improved reception quality 2. Enhanced signal reliability 3. Better overall performance of antenna systems
Commercial Applications: The technology could be applied in satellite communication systems, radar installations, and wireless networks to improve signal reception and overall system performance.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the polarized wave converter unit specifically convert diffracted waves to circularly polarized wave components? 2. What are the potential limitations of this technology in complex environments with multiple obstacles?
Original Abstract Submitted
in a conventional antenna device, transmission radio waves transmitted from a transmitting antenna traveling directly to a receiving antenna are blocked by a shield wall disposed between the receiving antenna and the transmitting antenna. however, some of the transmission radio waves are diffracted at the edge of the shield wall and enter the receiving antenna as diffracted waves, affecting the reception of the reception radio waves. in view of this, the shield wall and a polarized wave converter unit are disposed between the transmitting antenna unit and the receiving antenna unit. as a result, vertically polarized wave components of the diffracted waves are converted by the polarized wave converter unit to circularly polarized wave components that are less affecting the reception of the reception radio waves in the receiving antenna, and the diffracted waves are prevented from affecting the receiving operation of the receiving antenna.
