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 phased array antenna system comprising a plurality of isotropic radiating elements and/or omnidirectional receiving elements addressing close in fields and a plurality of non-isotropic radiating elements and/or non-omnidirectional receiving elements addressing remote fields with the combined elements used to extend the maximum range of the antenna system without increasing the number of element nor the output power of the antenna. The non-isotropic radiating elements and/or the non-omnidirectional receiving elements can be formed by adding focusing structures such as lenses or reflective structures in the radiating path of isotropic radiating elements and/or omnidirectional receiving elements. Antennas with combined isotropic radiating and non-isotropic radiating elements can be utilized for electromagnetic phased array radar, communication and imaging systems and for acoustic phased array sonar or ultrasound systems.

The present invention relates to a communication technique for fusing a 5G communication system to support a higher data transmission rate than a 4G system, with IoT technology, and a system thereof. In addition, the present invention provides an antenna module comprising: a first plate which forms an upper surface of the antenna module and has a first opening surface on one side surface, a second plate which forms a side surface of the antenna module, forms a first angle with the first plate in contact with the first plate, and has a second opening surface on one side surface so as to extend the first opening surface, and a power supply unit which has one surface electrically connected to the first plate and is disposed on the first opening surface or the second opening surface.

Provided are an array antenna apparatus using spatial power spectrum combining and a method of controlling the same. The array antenna apparatus includes a uniform linear array antenna module including antennas which are uniformly and linearly arranged, an array antenna determiner configured to select sub-array antennas arranged at a first distance and sub-array antennas arranged at a second distance from the array antennas in the uniform linear array antenna module in order to derive spatial spectrum components from the uniform linear array antenna module, a spatial spectrum component deriver configured to separately derive spatial power spectrum components from signals received through the selected sub-array antennas selected by the array antenna determiner, and an azimuth calculator configured to calculate an azimuth by performing a calculation with a first spatial spectrum component and a second spatial spectrum component which are separately derived.

An electronic device may have a first phased antenna array that radiates through a display and a second phased antenna array that radiates through a rear wall. The first array may include a front-facing dielectric resonator antenna and the second array may include a rear-facing dielectric resonator antenna. The front and rear-facing antennas may share a dielectric resonating element. Feed probe(s) may excite a first volume of the dielectric resonating element to radiate through the display and may excite a second volume of the dielectric resonating element to radiate through the rear wall. The dielectric resonating element may have a geometry that helps to isolate the front-facing dielectric resonator antenna from the rear-facing dielectric resonator antenna. The first and second arrays may collectively cover an entire sphere around the device while occupying a minimal amount of volume within the device.
