摘要:
A communication device may include a millimeter wave (mm-wave) antenna array having antenna elements, a mm-wave element (e.g. lens), and one or more transceivers (e.g. first and second transceivers). The mm-wave lens may be configured to adjust the first beam and the second beam as the first and second beams pass through the mm-wave lens. The first transceiver can selectively couple to the antenna elements, the first transceiver being configured to drive a first selected antenna element of the antenna elements to transmit a beam from the selected first antenna element. The second transceiver may selectively couple to the antenna elements, the second transceiver being configured to drive a second selected antenna element of the antenna elements to transmit a second beam from the selected second antenna element.

Embodiments of a planar asymmetric antenna structure with shifted feed position for multi-protocol operations are disclosed The antenna structure includes two elliptically tapering right and left arms, each with a different radius, and an off-center feed point positioned between the right and left arms. One arm has a smaller elliptical tapering than the other arm and the feed point is positioned closer to one arm than the other arm. A method of synthesizing a multiprotocol antenna pattern is also disclosed. The method includes providing substantially equally surface currents on both arms of an antenna structure to generate a near-horizontal pattern in far-field at a lower frequency band, providing greater surface currents on the right arm to generate a far-field pattern with a large horizontal component at a higher frequency band, and providing greater surface currents on the left arm to generate an asymmetric far-field pattern at a middle frequency band.

摘要:
A near-horizon antenna structure includes an upper radiating element having a straight conductive trace disposed on a planar surface of a non-conductive substrate, a rectangular lower radiating element serving as a ground plane disposed on the planar surface, and a feed point provided between the upper and lower radiating elements. When the planar surface is positioned vertically, the far-field effects of horizontal current flowing in opposite directions on the radiating elements cancel to provide an antenna pattern with increased gain in horizontal directions and reduced gain in vertical directions. A flat panel display and a portable communication device are also provided with one or more near-horizon antenna structures integrated therein.
摘要:
An antenna array architecture is provided for beamforming applications. The antenna array architecture facilitates a compact and wideband dual-polarized beam-switching antenna array architecture, which may be implemented in a cost-effective multi-layer PCB or package. The antenna array architecture is implemented as part of a package substrate having a number of layers. Each of the layers comprises various conductive elements such as conductive segments and/or traces that are disposed thereon in accordance with the respective antenna components.

An antenna module and communication device containing the antenna module are disclosed. The antenna module is disposed in a metal cavity. The antenna module includes a switched beam mm-wave antenna array having radiating elements separated by less than a wavelength of the radiating elements. The array is fed by a single transceiver chain. The array is disposed at the focal length of a low-profile mm-wave lens configured to steer the beam. A sub-10GHz antenna is disposed closer to the opening of the cavity than the lens. The lens is a Fresnel Zone Plate lens having a focal length of less than about the wavelength of the beam, or a Saucer lens having shells of different refractive indexes and having a profile that is more than 6 times smaller than a Luneburg lens with a same focal length.
