Apparatus is provided to allow the reception and/or transmission of data signals at two different frequency bands. The apparatus includes a waveguide (4) which has a first section (6) of larger cross sectional area for receiving and/or transmitting the lower frequency band signals, and a reducing section (8) which leads to a section with a reduced cross sectional area in comparison to the first section (6) and this allows the receipt of the higher frequency band signals. In one embodiment sections of the waveguide can be rotated to allow the apparatus to be adjusted to any particular orientation to suit the particular circular polarity transmission type at the location at which the apparatus is provided at that time.

Various systems and methods disclosed herein describe improvements for beam management that leverage virtualization across a vertical polarization (V-Pol) and horizontal polarization (H-Pol). One or more of a user equipment (UE) and a base station may include an antenna array comprising V-Pol antenna elements and H-Pol antenna elements. The UE may determine a number of receive (Rx) beam of an Rx beam sweep are needed, signal this number to the base station, and perform the beam sweep according to one or both of the V-Pol and H-Pol. A UE may use group based beam reporting to indicate to the base station a transmit (Tx) beam upon which downlink MIMO using V-Pol and H-Pol may be supported by reporting a same transmission configuration indication (TCI) corresponding to the Tx beam for both a first Rx beam and a second Rx beam in a group based beam reporting message.

A wire grid device having transmission power characteristics and a power extinction ratio in a terahertz wave band that cannot be achieved conventionally. A cutout is formed between one end and an opposite end of a rectangular metal thin plate to form a plurality of grid plates each having an elongated grid part between the one end and the opposite end. The grid plates are stacked in such a manner that the grid parts of the grid plates are spaced at a given interval and face each other, thereby forming a grid plate stack. In this case, spacers are inserted between one ends and between opposite ends of adjacent ones of the grid plates to form parallel flat plates configured by the grid parts. The grid plate stack forming the parallel flat plates operates as a polarizer for a terahertz wave band.

A reflector device having first and second reflector plates to which a reflective surface is attached, respectively, at a prescribed angle of inclination in relation to an axis of rotation, wherein the first reflector plate (1) and the second reflector plate are positioned so as to face one another, and the first reflector plate and/or the second reflector plate are/is capable of rotating around the axis of rotation.

An antenna module includes: a radiating element and a filter device including a plurality of resonators. The plurality of resonators include a first resonator and a second resonator, the second resonator being disposed at a final stage. The first resonator and the second resonator are each electrically coupled to the radiating element. A degree of a coupling of the resonator and the radiating element is weaker than a degree of a coupling of the resonator and the radiating element.
