An electronic device may be provided with wireless circuitry. The wireless circuitry may include one or more antennas and transceiver circuitry such as centimeter and millimeter wave transceiver circuitry (e.g., circuitry that transmits and receives antennas signals at frequencies greater than 10 GHz). The antennas may be arranged in a phased antenna array. The phased antenna array may be formed on a dielectric substrate and may include one or more indirectly-fed microstrip dipole antennas. Conductive traces forming dipole antenna resonating elements or parasitic resonating elements for the dipole antennas in the phased antenna array may be embedded within or formed on an upper surface of the dielectric substrate. The phased antenna array may include both dipole antennas and patch antennas. Dipole antennas may be interposed between adjacent patch antennas or formed next to patch antennas.

An antenna device for a vehicle includes an antenna board in which a colinear array antenna is constructed by a conductor pattern provided on each of both surfaces of a dielectric substrate. The colinear array antenna includes a first straight portion, a second straight portion, a first connection portion one end of which is connected to the first straight portion, and a second connection portion one end of which is electrically connected to the first connection portion and another end of which is connected to the second straight portion. The first straight portion and the first connection portion are provided on a first surface of the dielectric substrate. The second straight portion and the second connection portion are provided on a second surface of the dielectric substrate opposite to the first surface.

A wide-beam antenna has a modular radiator. The antenna is designed specifically for small cell or DAS applications where wide azimuth beamwidth is required such as an antenna mounted to a building near street level. The main radiator of the antenna is modular where the module can incorporate filtering elements for interference mitigation. The modular main radiator also provides tuning capability for the antenna.

An antenna module is disclosed. The antenna module includes a circuit board and at least one antenna set. Wherein, the antenna set includes a driving antenna and a plurality of parasitic antennas. The driving antenna is formed on the circuit board, and the parasitic antennas are positioned with the driving antenna as a center on the circuit board. Whereby, the space occupied by the antenna module can be small, and beams of wireless signals radiated by the antenna module can be controlled.

Collapsible feed structures to further improve the ability of a reflector antenna (e.g., a spherical balloon reflector antenna) to collapse are disclosed. In a first embodiment, feed systems that include a metallic layer deposited on a dielectric support curtain (e.g., the dielectric support curtain of a spherical balloon antenna), one or more Vee antenna structures, patterned on the metallic layer, that receive a signal reflected off a reflective surface and/or emit a signal that is reflected off a reflective surface, and one or more slot line transmission lines, patterned on the metallic layer, that transmit a signal to and/or from one of the Vee antenna structures. In a second embodiment, a collapsible line feed that includes a plurality of metallic disks and a flexible monopole passing through the plurality of metallic disks.

The present invention discloses an antenna tuning system and method thereof. The method comprises the following steps: choosing a parasitic antenna that combined with a main antenna, the strongest received signal strength indicator of a target station is detected; controlling the selected parasitic antenna that combined with a main antenna, to generate a scattering resonance through turning on or off a switch unit; and controlling a diffraction radiation pattern between the main antenna and the selected parasitic antenna through adjusting a load of a designed circuit.
