摘要: A dipole antenna for use with a mobile subscriber unit in a wireless network communications system. The antenna is fabricated with printed circuit board (PCB) photo-etching techniques for precise control of the printed structure. The dipole antenna includes a planar substrate made of dielectric material. A conductive planar element is layered on one side of the substrate in an upper region of the substrate, and a conductive planar ground patch is layered on the other side of the substrate in a lower region of the substrate. That is, the conductive planar element is stacked above the conductive planar ground patch. A feed strip is connected to the bottom of the conductive planar element, and extends from the element to a bottom edge of the substrate and terminates at a bottom feed point. Typically, the feed point is connected to a transmission line for transmitting signals to and receiving signals from the dipole antenna. The conductive planar ground patch includes a bottom end for connecting the ground patch to a ground plane upon which the dipole antenna is mounted. The ground plane is aligned orthonormal to the antenna. Capacitive coupling between the conductive planar element and the conductive ground patch creates a junction which provides an upper dipole feed point in a mid-region of the substrate such that the conductive planar element acts as one element of an unbalanced dipole antenna and the conductive planar ground patch acts as the other element of the unbalanced dipole antenna. The unbalanced dipole antenna forms a beam which may be positionally directed along a horizon that is substantially parallel to the ground plane.

摘要: An antenna apparatus, which can increase capacity in a cellular communication system or Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), such as an 802.11 network, operates in conjunction with a mobile subscriber unit or client station. At least one antenna element is active and located within multiple passive antenna elements. The passive antenna elements are coupled to selectable impedance components for phase control of re-radiated RF signals. Various techniques for determining the phase of each antenna element are supported to enable the antenna apparatus to direct an antenna beam pattern toward a base station or access point with maximum gain, and, consequently, maximum signal-to-noise ratio. By directionally receiving and transmitting signals, multipath fading is greatly reduced as well as intercell interference.

摘要: A directional antenna having a number, N, of outlying monopole antenna elements. These monopole elements are formed as a first upper conductive segment on a portion of a dielectric substrate. The array also includes the same number, N, of image elements. The image elements are formed as a second set of lower conductive segments on the same substrate as the upper conductive segments. The image elements, generally having the same length and shape as the monopole elements, are connected to a ground reference potential. To complete the array, an active antenna element is also disposed on the same substrate, adjacent to at least one of the monopole elements. In a preferred arrangement, the passive monopole elements and corresponding image elements are selectively connected to operate to in either a reflective or directive mode, such as via a switchable coupling circuit that selectively changes the impedances connected between them.

摘要: An antenna apparatus which can increase capacity in a cellular communication system. The antenna operates in conjunction with a mobile subscriber unit and provides a plurality of antenna elements. At least one active antenna element is active and essentially centrally located within multiple passive antenna elements. The passive antenna elements are coupled to selectable impedance components. Through proper control of the passive antenna elements, the cellular communication system directs an antenna beam pattern toward an antenna tower of a base station to maximize gain, and, consequently, signal-to-noise ratio. Thus, optimum reception is achieved during, for example, an idle mode which receives a pilot signal. The antenna array creates a beamformer for signals to be transmitted from the mobile subscriber unit, and a directional receiving array to more optimally detect and receive signals transmitted from the base station. By directionally receiving and transmitting signals, multipath fading is greatly reduced as well as intercell interference. Various techniques for determining the proper phase of each antenna element are accommodated.
