HYBRID ANTENNA ARRAY

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18209818 titled 'HYBRID ANTENNA ARRAY



Original Abstract Submitted

The disclosed technology is generally directed to a hybrid antenna module. In one example of the technology, an apparatus comprises a first substrate that includes a first antenna module and a controller. The first antenna module includes: antenna patches; floating patches; and switches. The controller is configured to cause the first antenna module to selectively operate in a first mode and a second mode such that at least a portion of the antenna patches and at least a portion of the floating patches are switched together via the switches in the second mode and not in the first mode, and in which a resonant antenna frequency of the first antenna module is controlled at a first frequency in the first mode and at a second frequency in the second mode. The second frequency is different from the first frequency.
