This document describes techniques, apparatuses, and systems for a waveguide with lobe suppression. A waveguide is described that includes a pipe for containing a dielectric, the pipe defining an open end to a longitudinal direction through the pipe. An array of radiating slots is formed through a surface of the pipe and in communication with the dielectric. To suppress grating lobes in an antenna pattern, the waveguide includes at least one parasitic groove that is separate from the pipe and with at least a portion of a length that is parallel to the array of radiating slots. In this way, the waveguide provides an antenna pattern where grating lobes are suppressed or substantially reduced.

Formed waveguide antennas using one or metal sheets can improve the materials and manufacturing process of a radar assembly. For example, the radar system can include a printed circuit board (PCB) and a metal sheet attached to the PCB. The metal sheet can be formed to provide multiple waveguide antennas that each include multiple waveguide channels. Multiple radiation slots can be formed on a surface of each of the multiple waveguide channels. The PCB can include an MIMIC and a thermally conductive material covering a portion of a first and a second surface of the PCB. The metal sheet can also be formed to provide a shield for the MIMIC. In this way, the described techniques and systems permit the waveguide antennas to formed with materials and a manufacturing process that reduce costs while still providing high performance (e.g., minimized loss).

Radiating elements include a conductive patch having first and second slots that each extend along a first axis and third and fourth slots that each extend along a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis, a feed network that includes first through fourth feed lines, each feed line crossing a respective one of the first through fourth slots, and a conductive ring that at least partially surrounds the periphery of the conductive patch and that encloses each of the first through fourth slots.

A wearable electronic device is described. The wearable electronic device includes two communications antennae. A first antenna of the two is a current-carrying antenna electrically and physically connected to a printed circuit board of the wearable electronic device and housed in a first portion of a housing that is configured for mounting on a person's skin. A second antenna of the two is a scatterer antenna physically connected to an interior surface of a second portion of the housing and configured to overlap a portion of the current-carrying antenna. The second portion of the housing faces away from the person's skin when the wearable device is mounted on the person's skin. Current from the current-carrying antenna is induced in the scatterer antenna to enable communications between the wearable electronic device and one or more other electronic devices.

The antenna includes an antenna feed arranged to emit an electromagnetic signal along a predetermined direction; a resonator disposed adjacent to the antenna feed arranged to improve a directivity of the electromagnetic signal being emitted by the antenna feed; wherein the resonator includes a first reflector and a second reflector sandwiching a resonating cavity therebetween; and wherein the first reflector includes a curved reflector surface.

An electromagnetic wave transceiving apparatus is disclosed, including a detection and control unit, an electromagnetic exciter, a dielectric adjustment unit, and a positioning unit. When the electromagnetic wave transceiving apparatus is coupled to a surface of an external dielectric body, the electromagnetic exciter, the dielectric adjustment unit, and the coupled external dielectric body constitute a resonator with a specific electromagnetic wave spectrum. Considering the influence of the external dielectric body to which the electromagnetic wave transceiving apparatus is coupled, when the electromagnetic wave transceiving apparatus is coupled to the surface of the external dielectric body, the electromagnetic exciter, the dielectric adjustment unit, and the coupled external dielectric body may adjust the electromagnetic exciter and the dielectric adjustment unit to form a resonator with the required frequency through the detection and control unit.
