The disclosure relates to a 5.sup.th generation (5G) or pre-5G communication system for supporting a data transmission rate higher than that of a 4.sup.th generation (4G) communication system such as long term evolution (LTE). An electronic device including an antenna in a wireless communication system is provided. The electronic device includes a radiator, a body, and a feeding circuit for transmitting a signal, wherein the radiator is coupled to at least a part of the body, the feeding circuit is coupled to the body to support the body, and the radiator is disposed to be spaced apart from the feeding circuit to form an air gap.

Radiating elements include a first and second dipole arms that extend along a first axis and that are configured to transmit RF signals in a first frequency band. The first dipole arm is configured to be more transparent to RF signals in a second frequency band than it is to RF signals in a third frequency band, and the second dipole arm is configured to be more transparent to RF signals in the third frequency band than it is to RF signals in the second frequency band.

A fixed wireless access system is implemented using orthogonal time frequency space multiplexing (OTFS). Data transmissions to/from different devices share transmission resources using—delay Doppler multiplexing, time-frequency multiplexing, multiplexing at stream and/or layer level, and angular multiplexing. Time-frequency multiplexing is achieved by dividing the time-frequency plan into subgrids, with the subsampled time frequency grid being used to carry the OTFS data. Antenna implementations include a hemispherical antenna with multiple antenna elements arranged in an array to achieve multiplexing.

A system includes one or more antennas; and a processor to control a directionality of the antennas in communication with a predetermined target using 5G protocols.

A base station antenna includes first and second arrays that include respective pluralities of first and second radiating elements arranged along the longitudinal direction of the base station antenna, the second array transversely adjacent the first array. A longitudinal position of each second radiating element is staggered from that of the corresponding first radiating element. The first array comprises first and second sub-arrays, each of which comprises one or a plurality of adjacent first radiating elements. A phase center of the combination of the first and second subarrays is basically aligned with a sub-phase center of the second array

The integrated heatsink and antenna structure may include heatsink portions and radio frequency antenna portions. The heatsink portions may provide a path for dissipating thermal energy or heat generated by the components in the device (e.g., printed circuit boards, processors, voltage amplifiers, etc.), and the radio frequency (RF) antenna portions may allow the device to send and receive wireless communications. The integrated heatsink and antenna structure may be formed so that radio frequency antenna portions operate to improve the thermal performance of the heatsink portions and/or so that the heatsink portions operate to improve the antenna properties (e.g., radiation patterns, radiation efficiency, bandwidth, input impedance, polarization, directivity, gain, beam-width, voltage standing wave ratio, etc.) of the radio frequency antenna portions.

A radio frequency (RF) beam transmission component having optical inputs and electrical outputs may include a wavelength selective switch (WSS) that has a plurality of optical WSS outputs. Each optical WSS output may be configured to transmit one or more wavelengths of the incoming optical signals. The RF beam transmission component may include a plurality of photodetectors (PD), each photodetector having an optical PD input coupled to one or more of said plurality of optical WSS outputs and a corresponding electrical output of a plurality of PD electrical outputs.
