MMWAVE ANTENNA ARRANGEMENT AND MODULE COMPRISING SUCH ARRANGEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18323205 titled 'MMWAVE ANTENNA ARRANGEMENT AND MODULE COMPRISING SUCH ARRANGEMENT

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a millimeter-wave antenna arrangement that includes a first antenna array and an artificial dielectric structure.

  • The first antenna array consists of multiple patch antennas.
  • The artificial dielectric structure is placed over the first antenna array and is made up of conductor layers separated by dielectric layers.
  • Each conductor layer contains periodically repeated conductor patterns.
  • Each antenna element in the first antenna array is associated with one conductor pattern from each conductor layer.
  • The conductor patterns associated with one antenna element are not completely identical.
  • The artificial dielectric structure has an artificial dielectric constant, which depends on the natural dielectric constants of the dielectric layers.
  • The artificial dielectric constant is preferably between 10-30.


Original Abstract Submitted

A millimeter-wave antenna arrangement () comprising at least one first antenna array (), said first antenna array () comprising a plurality of antenna elements () such as patch antennas, and an artificial dielectric structure () superposed over said first antenna array (). Said artificial dielectric structure () comprises a plurality of conductor layers () separated by dielectric layers (), each conductor layer () comprising a plurality of periodically repeated conductor patterns (). One conductor pattern () of each conductor layer () is associated with one of said antenna elements (), and the conductor patterns () associated with one antenna element () are at least partially non-identical. Said artificial dielectric structure () has an artificial dielectric constant, and each dielectric layer has a natural dielectric constant, said artificial dielectric constant depending at least partially on the natural dielectric constants and preferably having a value between 10-30.
