Abstract:
A dipole antenna includes a planar reflector and a radiating element. The radiating element includes first and second pairs of dipoles on a surface of the planar reflector. The first and second pairs of dipoles respectively include arm segments arranged around a central region in a box dipole arrangement. The arm segments may be printed circuit board portions having respective metal segments and respective inductor-capacitor circuits thereon. The inductor-capacitor circuits define a filter aligned to a frequency range higher than an operating frequency range of the first and second pairs of dipoles.
Abstract:
A support piece comprises: a first support section configured in the shape of a plate, and a plurality of second support sections; every second support section in the plurality of second support sections is set on the outside of the first support section and is bent relative to the first support section; every second support section comprises at least one support structure. At least a portion of the support structure of the at least one support structure is configured to support a first dipole arm, and at least a portion of the support structure of the at least one support structure is configured to support a second dipole arm; a second arm section on the outside of the first dipole arm is bent relative to the first arm section on the inside toward a first side of the first support section to support the dipole arm; a second arm section on the outside of the second dipole arm is bent relative to the first arm section on the inside toward a second side of the first support section opposite to the first side.
Abstract:
A test fixture for testing performance of a trimmed cable and/or antenna components. The test fixture may be connected without the use of solder allowing for accurate testing or tuning of one or more the antenna components.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a phase shifter including an input port configured to receive a radio frequency (RF) signal; a first output port, a second output port, a third output port, and a fourth output port each configured to output a respective phase-shifted sub-component of the RF signal; a first conductive trace that extends in a first direction, the first conductive trace coupled to the first output port and the second output port; a second conductive trace that extends in the first direction, the second conductive trace coupled to the third output port and the fourth output port; and a first wiper configured to couple the input port to the first conductive trace and the second conductive trace, wherein the first wiper is configured to be slidable in the first direction with respect to the first conductive trace and the second conductive trace.
