    Abstract: A beamforming method and apparatus are provided. A beamforming apparatus according to one embodiment comprises a beamforming module comprising a beam port configured to provide electrical signals; an antenna array comprising a plurality of antenna ports; and a feeding network disposed between and coupling the beam port and the antenna ports. The feeding network is configured to shunt the electrical signals provided by the beam port to the plurality of antenna ports, the electrical signals received at the antenna ports being used to control shapes of beams formed by the antenna array. An amplitude of an electrical signal shunted to an antenna port and an operating frequency of the antenna array meet a first correspondence. A phase difference between electrical signals shunted to two different antenna ports and the operating frequency meet a second correspondence.

    Abstract: An antenna system, a feeding network reconfiguration method, and an apparatus is disclosed. The antenna system may include an antenna array, a reconfigurable network unit, a control unit, and K radio frequency channels. The antenna array may include L antenna subarrays, and the reconfigurable network unit may divide the L antenna subarrays into M antenna subarray groups, and separately connect the M antenna subarray groups to the K radio frequency channels; any one of the K radio frequency channels may perform signal processing on a signal received by a connected antenna subarray group and/or a to-be-transmitted signal; and the control unit may control the reconfigurable network unit to adjust a mapping relationship between an antenna subarray group connected to each radio frequency channel and the antenna subarrays.

    Abstract: This application provides a radiating element, an antenna array, and a network device, to avoid mutual shielding between dipoles during multi-band transmission, and therefore improve radiation performance. The radiating element includes one or more dipoles and a supporter. The one or more dipoles are suspended on the top of the supporter, and each of the one or more dipoles is connected to the supporter at a specific angle. A dipole arm of each dipole is covered with a periodic structure. The periodic structure is configured to enable an electromagnetic wave radiated to a first surface of each dipole to be incident to a second surface of each dipole, where the first surface and the second surface are any two opposite surfaces of each dipole.
