An antenna device includes: a dielectric substrate 1; a first conductor 2 provided on a first surface of the dielectric substrate 1; a second conductor 100 provided on a second surface of the dielectric substrate 1, the second surface being opposite to the first surface on which the first conductor 2 is provided, the second conductor 100 having a feeding point 12; a third conductor 200a provided on the same second surface on which the second conductor 100 is provided; and a pair of transmission lines that electrically connect the second conductor 100 and the third conductor 200a.

A lensed multi-beam base station antenna may include a plurality of linear arrays of radiating elements, a plurality of reflectors, a sidelobe suppressor, and a lens. Each array may include a plurality of radiating elements (e.g., two or more radiating elements) that extends forwardly from a planar section of a respective reflector. The sidelobe suppressor may comprise radiofrequency (RF) absorber material that absorbs energy that is emitted by a first of the arrays and that is directed toward a reflector underneath a second of the arrays. The sidelobe suppressor may comprise a RF choke that reduces the RF energy emitted by a first of the arrays that is directed toward a reflector underneath a second of the arrays.

An antenna device includes a substrate, a first ground layer, a radiation electrode, and waveguide structures. Each of the waveguide structures has a slit and a conductor wall. The slit is positioned in an electric field direction of the radiation electrode and provided in the first ground layer. The conductor wall surrounds the slit and extends in a thickness direction of the substrate. A dimension of the waveguide structure in a magnetic field direction in plan view is greater than ½ of a wavelength of a radio wave emitted by the radiation electrode in a medium of the substrate. A length from the slit to a terminal portion of the waveguide structure is about ¼ of a wavelength of the radio wave emitted by the radiation electrode in the waveguide structure.

A transmission line network is provided that includes a slow-wave transmission line to couple a first terminal to a first antenna. The transmission line network also includes a conventional transmission line to couple a second terminal to a second antenna.

Technologies directed to overlaid shared aperture array with improved total efficiency are described. One RF structure includes a first antenna with a first set of antenna elements disposed on a first plane of a support structure and a second antenna with a second set of antenna elements disposed on a second plane of the support structure. A set of parasitic antenna elements are disposed on the first plane. Two adjacent antenna elements, including one from the first plurality of antenna elements and another one from the plurality of parasitic antenna elements, are separated by the second distance.

An antenna module includes a first antenna element disposed at a first dielectric substrate, a second antenna element disposed at a second dielectric substrate, a joint connecting the first dielectric substrate and the second dielectric substrate, and a power supply line. The second dielectric substrate is different from the first dielectric substrate with respect to the normal direction. The power supply line extends from the first dielectric substrate via the joint to the second antenna element and is configured to communicate a radio-frequency signal to the second antenna element. At least a part of the power supply line at the joint is formed in a direction crossing the polarization plane of radio waves radiated by the first antenna element and the second antenna element.

The disclosed technology provides a computing device with a slot antenna assembly including a slot formed in a metal exterior surface of a computing device case; an acoustic transceiver positioned to transmit an acoustic wave out through the slot and to receive a reflected portion of the acoustic wave in through the slot when the acoustic wave is reflected by an object; a proximity detector coupled to the acoustic transceiver that determines a physical separation between the object and the slot antenna based on a temporal separation between transmission of the acoustic wave and receipt of the reflected portion of the acoustic wave; and a transmission power controller that adjusts transmission power of the slot antenna based on the determined physical separation.

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.

A radiating element comprises a radiator, a feed stalk and a parasitic element. The radiator is fed by the feed stalk, and the parasitic element includes an electrically conductive structure that includes a meandered electrically conductive path. A coupling capacitor is formed between the electrically conductive structure and the radiator, and a center frequency of an operating frequency band of the radiator is higher than a center frequency of a first operating frequency band of the parasitic element.

Radar standing wave dampening systems and components are described. In particular, systems and components including an absorber composite including at least one of ceramic filler, magnetic filler, or conductive filler materials are described. Such components can reduce the intensity of standing waves and may also be combined in systems with one or more gradient permittivity tapes or films.
