Methods, systems, and apparatus for using antennas for millimeter wave contactless communication. One of the apparatuses is a communication device that includes a transducer configured to convert electrical signals into extremely high frequency (EHF) electromagnetic signals, the EHF electromagnetic signals substantially emitted from a first surface of the communication device, wherein the transducer is positioned on a substrate of the communication device, and an integrated circuit coupled to the substrate, wherein the transducer includes multiple parallel resonant antenna elements in an array.

A scattering device 10 is described comprising a plurality of dipoles 20, each comprising a rod and a pair of plates 12, 22, the plates 12, 22 being located at the respective ends of the rod, the rods of the dipoles 20 being connected to one another and arranged such that the rods are angled relative to one another.

A radio frequency antenna array uses lenses and RF elements, to provide ground-based coverage for cellular communication. The antenna array can include two spherical lenses, where each spherical lens has at least two associated RF elements. Each of the RF elements associated with a given lens produces an output beam with an output area. Each lens is positioned with the other lenses in a staggered arrangement. The antenna includes a control mechanism configured to enable a user to move the RF elements along their respective tracks, and automatically phase compensate the output beams produced by the RF elements based on the relative distance between the RF elements.

An apparatus for electromagnetic wave evaluation may include: an electromagnetic wave non-reflecting outer structure in which electromagnetic wave absorbers are installed on interior walls and an evaluation space is formed therein; a building-simulating structure which is installed in the evaluation space inside the electromagnetic wave non-reflecting outer structure and in which electromagnetic wave absorbers capable of adjusting a quality factor are installed; a transmitting end installed inside or outside the building-simulating structure in the evaluation space and transmitting an electromagnetic wave; and a receiving end installed outside or inside the building-simulating structure in the evaluation space.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method capable of calibrating a sensor function required in a safety design of a radar safety sensor in real time. A calibration station (11) is provided on a traveling route of an unmanned vehicle (1) on which a safety sensor (3) for detecting an obstacle (2) ahead is mounted, and a standard reflection is provided at a position of a maximum measurement distance (L) of the safety sensor (3) at the calibration station (11). Prior to normal traveling of the unmanned trolley 1, the unmanned trolley 1 is moved to the calibration station 11 in advance, and the reference value obtained by measuring the standard reflector 12 with the safety sensor 3 is taught, During normal operation of the unmanned trolley 1, every time the unmanned trolley 1 reaches the calibration station 11, the measured value obtained by measuring the standard reflector 12 by the safety sensor 3 is compared with a reference value. Calibrate the sensor function of FIG. 1.

A multisegment array-fed reflector antenna includes a feed array consisting of a number of subarrays and a multisegment reflector to reflect multiple beams of the feed array into a number of elevation angles. A support structure couples the multisegment reflector to the feed array. The multisegment reflector includes two or more ring-focus parabolic segments, and each ring-focus parabolic segment is a parabolic surface extending along a circle around the support structure.
