Novel Compact Steerable Antenna
Antenna systems are pivotal technology in telecommunications and radar systems, enabling the transmission and reception of electromagnetic waves. As telecommunication demand grows, the need for systems capable of steering electromagnetic beams with high precision has become ever more critical. The ability to direct these beams accurately can boost signal strength, reduce interference, and expand coverage. The problem with most current systems is a lack of precise control over the direction of electromagnetic waves. Current steering technologies often cannot handle the amplitude of current or maintain efficient communication between antenna elements. The inability to control the beam direction may result in weak signals, high interference, and limited coverage areas.
Technology Description
The technology is a transmit antenna system configured to steer electromagnetic beams. The system is composed of three antenna elements: a first and second electric antenna both aligned parallel to a first plane, with the second oriented perpendicularly to the first, and a magnetically oriented antenna element also perpendicular to the first and second elements. The electronic steering module maintains electrical communication with all three antenna elements. What differentiates this system is its electronic steering module that includes at least one amplifier designed to control the current's amplitude to each antenna element. Through this unique mechanism, the system achieves unparalleled precision in the manipulation and direction of electromagnetic beams. The well-orchestrated interplay between these different elements allows the system to achieve a superior beam steering capability.
