    摘要: A repeater device includes a first antenna array having a plurality of antenna configuration modes, where each mode defines a unique configuration of one or more sub-arrays of a plurality of different sub-arrays of the first antenna array. The repeater device further includes control circuitry configured to select one of the plurality of antenna configuration modes. A first configuration of one or more sub-arrays of the first antenna array is activated based on the selected antenna configuration mode and a beam of radio frequency (RF) signal is directed to UE from the activated first configuration of the one or more sub-arrays. The beam of RF signal is directed to the UE present in first or second communication range such that one or more signal path parameters of the beam of RF signal are substantially equalized at the first and the second communication range.

    摘要: An antenna device includes a first patch radiator and a second patch radiator arranged over the first patch radiator. The antenna device further includes a central ground pin connected substantially at a center portion of the first patch radiator. The antenna device further includes a plurality of conductive feeding pins connected to the first patch radiator and separated by at least one slot of a plurality of slots provides in the first patch radiator. The antenna device further includes a cell structure having a cavity that includes a polygonal-shaped base and a metallic fence arranged at four or more side walls of the cavity. The first patch radiator and the second patch radiators are arranged in the cavity of the cell structure and are at least partially surrounded by the metallic fence such that a plurality of antenna control parameters are decoupled from each other.

    摘要: A repeater device includes a first antenna array having a plurality of antenna configuration modes, where each mode defines a unique configuration of one or more sub-arrays of a plurality of different sub-arrays of the first antenna array. The repeater device further includes control circuitry configured to select one of the plurality of antenna configuration modes and based on the selected one of the plurality of antenna configuration modes, activate a first set of antenna elements of the first antenna array and deactivate a second set of antenna elements of the first antenna array. The first set of antenna elements corresponds to a first configuration of one or more sub-arrays of the first antenna array. A beam of RF signal is directed to a user equipment from the first configuration of the one or more sub-arrays of the first antenna array.

    摘要: A repeater device includes a first antenna array on a first surface, a second antenna array on a second surface opposite to the first surface, and control circuitry. The first antenna array includes a plurality of first antenna elements and the second antenna array includes a plurality of second antenna elements, where each first antenna element is coupled to at least one second antenna element. The control circuitry selects at least one first antenna element and a corresponding second antenna element based on a first direction of signal reception with respect to the first antenna array. The selected first antenna element receives a beam of radio frequency (RF) signal in a first radiation pattern from a first network node in the first direction and corresponding second antenna element transmits the received beam of RF signal in a second radiation pattern to a second network node in a second direction.
