A measurement system is provided. The measurement system comprises a device under test, at least two measurement antennas, and a reflector. In this context, the reflector comprises at least two separate curved surfaces in the same physical entity in order to generate separate plane waves corresponding to the at least two measurement antennas. The reflector is configured in such a manner that the separate plane waves converge in a quiet-zone comprising the device under test.

The present disclosure aims to provide an antenna directivity adjustment apparatus and an antenna directivity adjustment method capable of preventing an antenna gain from being reduced and easily adjusting a direction of an antenna. An antenna directivity adjustment apparatus (1) includes: a second antenna (2) that is opposed to a radiation surface (100a) of a first antenna (100) and receives radio waves output from the first antenna (100); and an output unit (3) that is provided in the second antenna (2), converts a first beam width of the received radio waves into a second beam width wider than the first beam width, and outputs the radio waves having the second beam width.

An antenna, includes in part, a metal piece formed on a surface of a substrate and configure to radiate electromagnetic waves, a metal feed formed in the substrate and configure to supply electrical signal to the metal piece, and a multitude of metallic walls formed in the substrate and enclosing the metal piece. The antenna may be a patch antenna, a monopole antenna, or a dipole antenna. Each metallic wall may include a via that is fully or partially filled by a metal, or an electroplated tub formed in the substrate. The antenna further includes, in part, a metallic trace formed on the surface of the substrate and enclosing the antenna. The substrate may be a printed circuit board.

An antenna device is supported by a supporting member. The antenna device includes a dielectric substrate and a patch antenna. The patch antenna comprises a radiating element and a ground conductor that are provided to the dielectric substrate. The linear conductor fixes a relative position between the antenna device and the supporting member in a direction orthogonal to a normal direction of the dielectric substrate. At least a part of the linear conductor is electromagnetically coupled with the patch antenna to act as a linear antenna.

Resonant frequency stability of passbands or stopbands is provided over varying incidence angles and polarizations in a dual band frequency selective surface (FSS) device. The FSS device comprises an array of fractal unit cells. The fractal elements may comprise single fractal, or double fractal, or convoluted, or split ring resonator slot elements printed on a thin dielectric substrate. Each cell includes a first fractal pattern and a second fractal pattern which interact to provide the improved performance. In one form, a two-screen fractal FSS is etched on both sides of a thin dielectric substrate. The top FSS screen's unit cell has one fractal loop patch element, while the bottom FSS screen's unit cell has a higher order iteration of the same fractal. In another form, two fractal screens are incorporated in one dielectric layer positioned between two substrate layers. In yet another form, two fractal loop slot element FSSs are provided.

An electronic device may include wireless circuitry with antennas. An antenna resonating element arm for an antenna may be formed from conductive housing structures running along the edges of the device. The antenna may have first and second antenna feeds and multiple adjustable components that bridge a slot between the antenna resonating element and an antenna ground. Control circuitry may control the adjustable components and selectively activate one of the first and second feeds at a given time to place the antenna in first, second, or third operating modes. The control circuitry may determine which operating mode to use based on information indicative of the operating environment of the device. By switching between the operating modes, the control circuitry may shift current hot spots across the length of the resonating element arm to ensure satisfactory performance of the antenna in a variety of operating conditions.
