Abstract:
Base station antennas include an externally accessible active antenna module releasably coupled to a recessed segment that is over a chamber in the base station antenna and that is longitudinally and laterally extending along and across a rear of a base station antenna housing. The base station antenna housing has a passive antenna assembly that cooperates with the active antenna module.
Abstract:
An antenna apparatus includes: a dielectric substrate; at least first and second radiators disposed in a first wiring layer in the dielectric substrate; a first reflector disposed in a first range in a second wiring layer in the dielectric substrate, the first range including a second range where the first radiator is projected in the layer thickness direction of the dielectric substrate; a second reflector disposed in a third range in the second wiring layer, the third range including a fourth range where the second radiator is projected in the layer thickness direction; and an electromagnetic band-gap disposed between the first and second radiators. The electromagnetic band-gap has patches disposed in the first wiring layer, a ground electrode disposed in a third wiring layer at a different place from the second wiring layer in the layer thickness direction, and a first via extending in the layer thickness direction, both ends of the via mutually connecting the patches and ground electrode.

Additionally, the luminaire includes a wireless antenna positioned within the interior volume, configured to transmit or receive a wireless signal along a first direction, and configured to be operatively coupled to an access point. The wireless antenna can be entirely within the interior volume. The luminaire can include a first reflective surface within the interior volume and configured to redirect the wireless signal. The lamp can be configured to be electrically coupled to a power inserter that powers the access point.
Abstract:
A snow quality measuring apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention includes a plurality of reflectors, at least one transmitter, at least one receiver, and a measuring device. The plurality of reflectors are respectively arranged at a plurality of prescribed heights above the ground. The transmitter emits radio waves towards the plurality of reflectors, and the receiver receives the reflected waves of the radio waves from the plurality of reflectors. The measuring device measures snow quality of snow on the ground at the prescribed plurality of heights based on the respective reflected waves to from the plurality of reflectors as received by the receiver.

A millimeter wave transceiver including a plate forming an interposer having its upper surface supporting an interconnection network and having its lower surface intended to be assembled on a printed circuit board by bumps; an integrated circuit chip assembled on the upper surface of the interposer; antennas made of tracks formed on the upper surface of the interposer; and reflectors on the upper surface of the printed circuit board in front of each of the antennas, the effective distance between each antenna and the reflector plate being on the order of one quarter of the wavelength, taking into account the dielectric constants of the interposed materials.
Abstract:
According to one exemplary embodiment of the invention, a vehicle antenna apparatus is provided on a vehicle in such a way that this results in the antenna having a horizontal main beam direction. A first reflection apparatus above the conductive roof of the vehicle, with an exciter between these two elements, causes the reflections to be doubled, thus causing the main beam direction to be lowered from a vertical to a horizontal direction.
Abstract:
A cellular phone includes upper casing 2 having a front surface with LCD panel 21 disposed thereon, lower casing 3 having a front surface with key pad 22 disposed thereon, and an antenna, upper and lower casings 2, 3 being openably and closably coupled to each other. First control plate 10 for reflecting electromagnetic waves is disposed in upper casing 2, and second control panel 11 for reflecting electromagnetic waves is disposed in lower casing 3. First control plate 10 and second control plate 11 comprise separate members which are independent of each other. When the cellular phone is in an unfolded state in which the angle formed between the front surface of upper casing 2 and the front surface of the lower casing 3 is maximum, first control plate 10 and second control plate 11 have a maximum projected area on the surfaces of upper and lower casings 2, 3.
