Abstract: An antenna has at least one resonant frequency within a millimeter wave frequency range. The antenna includes a ground plane disposed in a first plane, the ground plane having a first aperture at which the antenna is fed with an RF signal by a feed line; and a main patch disposed in a second plane parallel to the first plane, the first and second planes spaced apart to form a first cavity between the ground plane and the main patch, the main patch having a second aperture.

Abstract: A balanced planar antenna having at least one mmWave resonant frequency includes a ground plane, first and second antenna elements, an arm that connects the second antenna element to the ground plane, a feed line connected to the first antenna element and for feeding a radio frequency signal to the first antenna element, and a balun that connects the first antenna element to the ground plane. The ground plane, first antenna element, second antenna element, arm, feed line and balun each are disposed on a substrate and are coplanar.

Abstract: A method for beam sweeping in a wireless communication system is described. Beam sweeping includes performing a reduced beam sweep corresponding to a reduced set of beams that are a subset of a full set of beams available for transmitting and/or receiving from an antenna module, without sweeping beams that are not members of the reduced set of beams. The method includes selecting a beam out of the reduced set of beams for transmitting and/or receiving from the antenna module based on the reduced beam sweep without sweeping beams that are not members of the reduced set of beams. Related devices are disclosed.
