Antenna Arrangement - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18596137 titled 'Antenna Arrangement
The patent application describes an antenna arrangement with a feed and an electrically conductive portion that terminates at an edge, featuring a slot with two elongate slot-paths extending from the feed in different directions.
- The first slot-path extends a distance in one direction before bifurcating into two paths.
- One of the bifurcated paths is close-ended, terminating at a closed end.
- The other bifurcated path is open-ended, terminating at the edge.
- The second slot-path is close-ended and terminates at a closed end.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in various communication systems requiring efficient antenna designs. - It can be applied in radar systems for improved signal reception and transmission.
Problems Solved: - Provides a compact and effective antenna design for various applications. - Enhances the performance of communication systems by optimizing signal propagation.
Benefits: - Improved antenna efficiency and performance. - Compact design suitable for integration into various devices and systems.
Commercial Applications: - This technology can be utilized in the telecommunications industry for improved signal transmission. - It can also be integrated into IoT devices for enhanced connectivity.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this antenna arrangement compare to traditional designs in terms of performance? - The innovative slot configuration enhances signal propagation and efficiency compared to traditional designs.
2. What are the potential cost implications of implementing this antenna arrangement in commercial products? - The compact design and improved performance may offset initial implementation costs with long-term benefits.
Original Abstract Submitted
Antenna arrangement including: a feed; and an electrically conductive portion that terminates at an edge, wherein the electrically conductive portion includes a slot including: an elongate first slot-path extending lengthwise from the feed in a first direction; and an elongate second slot-path extending lengthwise from the feed in a second direction different to the first direction, wherein the elongate first slot-path extends lengthwise a first distance in the first direction from the feed and then bifurcates, into an elongate first bifurcated slot path and an elongate second bifurcated slot path, wherein: the elongate first bifurcated slot path is close-ended and terminates at a first closed end; the elongate second bifurcated slot path is open-ended and terminates at an open end in the edge; and the elongate second slot path is close-ended and terminates at a second closed end.
