Abstract:
A beam configuration method and a device relate to the field of communications technologies, and can resolve problems in the prior art that a signal gain is a relatively low and utilization of an antenna array unit is low in a process of implementing omnidirectional coverage of a millimeter wave by using a broadside antenna and an end-fire antenna. A specific solution is as follows: determining whether an included angle between a ray that is perpendicular to a first plane and that extends outward from an electronic device and a ray pointing from the electronic device to a peer device is less than or equal to a preset angle (101), and when the included angle between the ray that is perpendicular to the first plane and that extends outward from the electronic device and the ray pointing from the electronic device to the peer device is less than or equal to the preset angle, performing end-fire state configuration on antenna array units in the first plane (102).
Abstract:
An antenna device includes: antennas (1); magnetic oscillation element units (2) converting electrical energy to high-frequency power; and a modulator (6) outputting electrical energy input from outside to at least two magnetic oscillation element units, with a time difference to differentiate phases of high-frequency power converted from electrical energy by at least two magnetic oscillation element units (2-1, 2-2). The magnetic oscillation element units respectively include a pair of electrodes (11, 18), and further include, between the pair of electrodes, a PIN layer (14), a free layer (16), and an intermediate layer (15). A resistance value of an element configured by the PIN, free and intermediate layers changes according to the angle between the magnetization direction of the PIN layer and the magnetization direction of the free layer. The antennas transmit electromagnetic waves to open space outside the magnetic oscillation element units with the supply of high-frequency power.

The present invention relates to a method for beamforming a beam using an active antenna having predetermined aperture data predetermined aperture data comprising M×N dual polarized antenna subarrays within an aperture, each dual polarized antenna subarray comprising a first antenna subarray having a first polarization and a second antenna subarray having a second polarization non-parallel with the first polarization. The method comprises: selecting number of antenna ports, each antenna port being adapted to generate a separate beam using a combination from the first antenna subarray and/or the second antenna subarray; selecting port properties, comprising target beamwidth for each separate beam and desired polarization between beams; and determining port partitioning based upon aperture data and port properties for each antenna port, to adjust an effective length of the aperture over which the beam is created and thereby defining which first antenna subarray(s) and/or second antenna subarray(s) to use for each antenna port.

A switch assembly, a switch assembly control method, a controller, and a base station are disclosed, which relate to the wireless communications field. The switch assembly includes: a mechanical normally open switch (102), a movable contact (104), and a controller (106), where the controller (106) is connected to a phase shifter (108) of a remote electrical tilt unit, and the movable contact (104) is arranged to move with a driving rod (1082) of the phase shifter (108); when the movable contact (104) reaches a specified position, the mechanical normally open switch (102) is triggered to close. According to the switch assembly, an arranged phase shifter (108) of a remote electrical tilt unit in a base station is used as a driving mechanism of a mechanical normally open switch (104), so that a prior-art problem that interference is caused to a base station signal because an integrated semiconductor chip radio frequency switch is a nonlinear element and a problem that installation is relatively difficult because a volume of a relay switch is relatively large are resolved, thereby reducing an installation difficulty while avoiding interference caused to a base station signal.

Therefore, a problem of relatively high costs and relatively big difficulty in obtaining an antenna site and maintaining an antenna caused by setting a great many antennas in the prior art is resolved.
