摘要： Disclosed is a splitter for use in an ultra-dense multi-band antenna. The splitter comprises a first twelfth-wave transformer and a second twelfth-stage transformer coupled serially. The first twelfth-wave transformer stage has a split and two parallel paths, each of the two parallel paths having a meander structure, and wherein the second twelfth-wave transformer stage has a splitter junction and a plurality of splitter branches. By splitting the input to the first twelfth-wave transformer stage into two parallel paths, it is possible to provide a controlled input impedance while providing meander lines that are compact and thus take up less real estate on a PCB (Printed Circuit Board).

摘要： An antenna for receiving wireless power from a transmitter is provided. The antenna includes multiple antenna elements, coupled to an electronic device, configured to receive radio-frequency (RF) power waves from the transmitter, each antenna element being adjacent to at least one other antenna element. Furthermore, the multiple antenna elements are arranged so that an efficiency of reception of the RF power waves by the antenna elements remains above a predetermined threshold efficiency when a human hand is in contact with the electronic device, the predetermined threshold efficiency being at least 50%. Lastly, at least one antenna element is coupled to conversion circuitry, which is configured to (i) convert energy from the received RF power waves into usable power and (ii) provide the usable power to the electronic device for powering or charging of the electronic device.

摘要： A sensor waveguide system includes a sensor waveguide and a plurality of sensors. The sensor waveguide includes a main body defining a peak, a base, an axis of rotation, and a plurality of waveguide channels. The main body converges from the base to the peak to create a predetermined tapered profile. The plurality of waveguide channels are oriented parallel to the axis of rotation of the sensor waveguide and each waveguide channel defines an exit disposed at the base of the main body. A sensor is disposed at the exit of each of the plurality of waveguide channels.

摘要： An antenna includes antenna structure configured to receive electromagnetic radiation and including an antenna geometry. The antenna geometry is configured to cause a variable phase shift in the electromagnetic radiation based on an angular position of a direction of propagation of the electromagnetic radiation relative to azimuth. An angle-of-arrival sensor includes the antenna configured to the receive electromagnetic radiation and to produce a phase-shift signal. A method for determining an angle of arrival of electromagnetic radiation uses the angle-of-arrival sensor.

摘要： This application provides a wireless data terminal and a wireless data terminal control system. The wireless data terminal includes a housing, a drive assembly, a first antenna assembly, and a second antenna assembly. The drive assembly can drive the first antenna assembly and the second antenna assembly to extend or retract to move in different directions between a first location and a second location. When the wireless data terminal does not need to be used or high isolation between antennas is not required, the drive assembly may drive the antenna assembly to retract to the first location, so that a volume occupied by the wireless data terminal can be reduced while an antenna isolation requirement is met. When high isolation between the antennas is required, the drive assembly may drive the antenna assembly to extend to the second location, so that isolation between the antennas is increased.

摘要： An antenna array that utilizes ground guard rings and metamaterial structures is disclosed. In certain embodiments, the antenna array is constructed from a plurality of antenna unit cells, wherein each antenna unit cell is identical. The antenna unit cell comprises a top surface, that contains a patch antenna and a ground guard ring. A reactive impedance surface (RIS) layer is disposed beneath the top surface and contains the metamaterial structures. The metamaterial structures are configured to present an inductance to the patch antennas, thereby allowing the patch antennas to be smaller than would otherwise be possible. In some embodiments, the metamaterial structures comprise hollow square frames. An antenna array constructed using this antenna unit cell has less coupling than conventional antenna arrays, which results in better performance. Furthermore, this new antenna array also requires less space than conventional antenna arrays.
