ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING ANTENNA ARRAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240347931 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING ANTENNA ARRAY
The abstract describes an electronic device with a unique design that allows it to be folded and unfolded. The device consists of two housings connected by a hinge structure, with antenna arrays on each surface. A flexible board connects the antenna arrays to form different configurations based on the device's state.
- First housing with a first surface and a second surface, smaller in area
- Second housing with a third surface and a fourth surface, smaller in area
- Hinge structure for folding and unfolding the device
- First antenna array on the first surface
- Second antenna array on the fourth surface
- Flexible board connecting the antenna arrays to form different configurations
Potential Applications: - Foldable electronic devices - Compact communication devices - Portable technology with adaptable antenna configurations
Problems Solved: - Space-saving design for electronic devices - Versatile antenna configurations for different usage scenarios
Benefits: - Enhanced portability - Efficient use of space - Customizable antenna setups
Commercial Applications: Title: Foldable Communication Devices with Adaptive Antenna Configurations This technology could revolutionize the design of smartphones, tablets, and other portable devices, offering users a more compact and versatile option for communication and connectivity.
Prior Art: Researchers interested in this technology may want to explore patents related to foldable devices, flexible electronics, and adaptive antenna systems to understand the existing landscape of innovation in this field.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers and developers in the field of foldable electronics and antenna design are constantly exploring new materials, manufacturing techniques, and software algorithms to improve the performance and usability of devices like the one described in this patent application.
