Various examples are provided for meander line (ML) slots, which can be used for mutual coupling reduction. In one example, an antenna array includes first and second patch antenna elements disposed on a first side of a substrate, the first and second patch antenna elements separated by a gap. The antenna array can include a meander line (ML) slot formed in a ground plane disposed on a second side of the substrate. A plurality of ML slots can be aligned with the gap between the first and second patch antenna elements. In another example, a method includes forming first and second antenna elements on a first side of a substrate and forming a ML slot in a ground plane disposed on a second side of the substrate aligned with a gap between the first and second antenna elements.

Examples disclosed herein relate to a sensor fusion system for use in an autonomous vehicle. The sensor fusion system has a radar detection unit with a metastructure antenna to direct a beamform in a field-of-view (“FoV”) of the vehicle, an analysis module to receive information about a detected object and determine control actions for the radar detection unit and the metastructure antenna based on the received information and on environmental information, and an autonomous control unit to control actions of the vehicle based on the received information and the environmental information.

Examples are disclosed that relate to handling a circularly polarized signal via a plurality of linearly polarized antennas. One example provides a mobile device comprising an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and an antenna system configured for communication using a circularly polarized signal. The antenna system comprises a first linearly polarized antenna, a second linearly polarized antenna, a third linearly polarized antenna, and a processing stage. The processing stage is configured to adjust, based at least in part on data from the IMU, one or more of a phase or a gain of a signal on each of the first, second, and third linearly polarized antennas to direct a beam of the antenna system toward a direction of the circularly polarized signal.

An information handling system (IHS) may include a configuration sensor for sensing a physical configuration of the IHS, a first proximity sensor probe for sensing whether a first biological entity element is proximate to a first antenna, a second proximity sensor probe for sensing whether a second biological entity element is proximate to a second antenna, and a third proximity sensor probe for sensing whether a third biological entity element is proximate to a third antenna. The IHS is adapted to reconfigure use of at least two of the first antenna, the second antenna, and the third antenna in response to the sensing of at least one of the first proximity sensor probe, the second proximity sensor probe, and the third proximity sensor.

Disclosed is an individual rotating radiating element which causes an electrical phase change with the mechanical rotary motion of a rotating radiating element and an array antenna using the same. The individual rotating radiating element comprises an auxiliary structure formed of a dielectric, a helix element inserted into a spiral groove on a side surface of the auxiliary structure, a ground plate coupled to a lower surface of the auxiliary structure; a driving unit including an opening in which the ground plate is placed and rotating the auxiliary structure, and a spatial electromagnetic coupling structure having a first feed pin and a second feed pin electromagnetically coupled each other during power feeding is inserted through a lower surface spaced apart from the upper surface with an inner space therebetween.

A system and a method are disclosed for estimating antenna misalignments in a line-of-sight wireless communication system and using the estimated antenna misalignments to form an optimal beam that may provide the best performance based on the channel conditions. A receiver determines a rotational estimate and a translational estimate of the receiver with respect to a transmitter, and sends feedback information to the transmitter that is used to determine an optimal beamforming matrix for LOS communications between the receiver and the transmitter. The feedback information includes estimated rotational angles and an estimated translational distance between the receiver and the transmitter, or includes an offset angle between a first plane of antennas of the receiver and a second plane of antennas of the transmitter, a normal vector of the first plane of antennas and the estimated translational distance. The antennas may be antenna arrays or single-element antennas.
