ANTENNA AND ANTENNA SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240313429 titled 'ANTENNA AND ANTENNA SYSTEM
The abstract of this patent application describes an antenna and antenna system that can reduce device costs and base station space by functioning as multiple conventional antennas in one.
- The antenna includes a first reflective surface and multiple feeds, with each feed corresponding to a specific area on the reflective surface.
- By reflecting beams radiated by each feed, the antenna can effectively act as multiple antennas in one unit.
- This design allows for a more compact and cost-effective antenna system compared to using multiple individual antennas.
Potential Applications: - Telecommunications - Satellite communications - Radar systems
Problems Solved: - Reducing device costs - Saving space in base stations - Improving antenna efficiency
Benefits: - Cost savings - Space efficiency - Enhanced antenna performance
Commercial Applications: Antenna manufacturers, telecommunications companies, satellite communication providers
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this antenna system compare to traditional multi-antenna setups in terms of performance and cost? 2. Are there any limitations to the number of feeds that can be effectively utilized on the reflective surface?
Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing studies on improving antenna design and efficiency in various applications.
Original Abstract Submitted
embodiments of this application provide an antenna and an antenna system. as the antenna is functionally equivalent to a plurality of conventional antennas, device costs and base station space occupied by the antenna can be reduced. the antenna includes a first reflective surface and n feeds, where n is an integer greater than 1. the n feeds are disposed on the first reflective surface, the first reflective surface includes n areas, the n areas are in one-to-one correspondence with the n feeds, and each area is used to reflect a beam radiated by a corresponding feed.
