    摘要: A radiating antenna capable of generating or receiving radiation using a plurality of feeds and a dielectric resonator is disclosed. The purpose of using multiple feeds with a single dielectric resonator antenna is to produce several beams each having a nullboresightnull (that is, a direction of maximum radiation on transmit, or a direction of maximum sensitivity on receive) in a different direction. Several such beams may be excited simultaneously to form a new beam in any arbitrary direction. The new beam may be incrementally or continuously steerable and may be steered through a complete 360 degree circle. The invention may be combined with an internal or external monopole antenna so as to cancel out the antenna backlobe or otherwise resolve the front/back ambiguity that arises with this type of dielectric resonance antenna. When receiving radio signals, electronic processing of such multiple beams may be used to find the direction of those signals thus forming the basis of a radio direction finding device. Further, by forming a transmitting beam or resolving a receiving beam in the direction of the incoming radio signal, a nullsmartnull or nullintelligentnull antenna may be constructed. The excitation of several beams together can, in some combinations, produce a system with a significantly greater bandwidth than a beam formed by exciting a single probe or aperture. The dielectric resonator is mounted on a ground plane, is preferably substantially cylindrical, and is fed, for example, by a number of internal probes or external ground plane apertures. An internal or external monopole antenna may be added to improve performance.

    摘要: Provided are a circularly polarized antenna structure and a wearable device. The circularly polarized antenna structure is applicable to the wearable device and includes: a mainboard; an annular radiator, having an effective perimeter equal to a wavelength corresponding to a central operating frequency of the antenna structure; a feeding terminal electrically connected to the radiator at one end and connected to a feeding module of the mainboard at the other end; and a grounding terminal electrically connected to the radiator at one end and electrically connected to a grounding module of the mainboard through a first capacitor at the other end. With the antenna structure of the present disclosure, a circularly polarized antenna may be implemented in the wearable device.
