    摘要: An electronic device may be provided with control circuitry and doublets of first and second antennas that are used to determine the position and orientation of the device relative to external wireless equipment. The control circuitry may determine the relative position and orientation of the external equipment by measuring the angle of arrival of radio-frequency signals from the external equipment. Each doublet may include first and second cavity-backed slot antennas. The first and second antennas may each include a first slot element that is directly fed and a second slot element that is parasitically fed by the first slot element. The first slot element may radiate in an ultra-wideband communications band at 8.0 GHz and the second slot element may radiate in an ultra-wideband communications band at 6.5 GHz. The doublet may be aligned with a dielectric window in a conductive sidewall for the device.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a UAV comprising a fuselage, a rotor, and a patch antenna element. The patch antenna element, which is provided from a patch antenna stack-up, is conformally disposed on an outer surface of the UAV's fuselage. The patch antenna comprises a first substrate, patch conductor, intermediate substrate, bottom substrate, and ground plane. The patch conductor is disposed on a top surface of the first substrate. A first surface of the intermediate substrate, which is a magneto-dielectric material, is disposed on a bottom surface of the first substrate. A top surface of the bottom substrate is disposed on a second surface of the intermediate substrate. A ground plane conductor is disposed on a bottom surface of the bottom substrate.

    摘要: A scalable, high-bandwidth connectivity architecture for portable storage devices and memory modules may utilize EHF communication link chip packages mounted in various two-dimensional and three-dimensional configurations on planar surfaces such as printed circuit boards. Multiple electromagnetic communication links between devices distributed on major faces of card-like devices may be provided with respectively aligned pairs of communication units on each device. Adjacent communication units on a printed circuit board may transmit or receive electromagnetic radiation having different polarization, such as linear or elliptical polarization. Power and communication between communication devices may both be provided wirelessly.

    摘要: An electronic device including an antenna module is provided. The electronic device includes a 5th generation (5G) antenna module that includes an antenna array, at least one conductive region operating as a ground with respect to the antenna array, and a first communication circuit feeding a power to the antenna array to communicate through a millimeter wave signal, and a printed circuit board (PCB) that includes a second communication circuit and a ground region. The second communication circuit feeds the power to an electrical path at least including the at least one conductive region and transmits or receives a signal in a frequency band different from a frequency band of the millimeter wave signal based on the electrical path supplied with the power and the ground region.
