User terminal antenna arrangement for multiple-input multiple-output communications
InactiveUS7106252B2Avoid space constraintsAvoid problemsSimultaneous aerial operationsPivotable antennasMimo communicationData rate
Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems are able to provide wireless communications at increased data rates. These systems involve using a plurality of antennas on both the transmitter and receiver and the problem of how to accommodate such structures in user terminals, which are often required to be hand held then arises. An antenna arrangement which is suitable for MIMO communications and which can be incorporated into a user terminal such as a personal digital assistant (PDA) is described. A pair of co-polarised umbrella monopoles and a slot antenna are incorporated into a flap which extends at approximately 90° to the body of the PDA. A fourth monopole is mounted and protrudes from the PDA itself.

An antenna array formed on a deformable dielectric material or substrate includes a center element and plurality of radial elements extending from a center hub. In the operative mode, the radial elements are folded upwardly into an approximately vertical position, with the center element at the center of the hub and the radial elements circumferentially surrounding the center element. In one embodiment the center element serves an active element of the antenna array and the radial elements are controllable in a directive or reflective state to effect a directive beam pattern from the antenna array. When not in use, the antenna elements are deformed into a plane and can therefore be integrated into a housing for compact storage. In a phased array embodiment, the center element is absent and the plurality of radial elements, are controllable to steer the antenna beam.

A low power, lightweight, collapsible and rugged antenna positioner for use in communicating with geostationary, geosynchronous and low earth orbit satellite. By collapsing, invention may be easily carried or shipped in a compact container. May be used in remote locations with simple or automated setup and orientation. Azimuth is adjusted by rotating an antenna in relation to a positioner base and elevation is adjusted by rotating an elevation motor coupled with the antenna. Manual orientation of antenna for linear polarized satellites yields lower weight and power usage. Updates ephemeris or TLE data via satellite. Algorithms used for search including Clarke Belt fallback, transponder / beacon searching switch, azimuth priority searching and tracking including uneven re-peak scheduling yield lower power usage. Orientation aid via user interface allows for smaller azimuth motor, simplifies wiring and lowers weight. Tilt compensation, bump detection and failure contingency provide robustness.

The invention relates to an antenna device for portable radio equipment such as mobile telephones (10) and a method for producing the antenna device. Mobile telephone antennas should have good receiving sensitivity and at the same time be compact. An antenna which can be folded down, folded up or retracted into a mobile telephone becomes compact but the receiving sensitivity becomes bad. A solution is an antenna device which comprises two antennas, a primary antenna (11) and a secondary antenna (12). The primary antenna can take up two positions and is always connected to the radio circuits (16) of the mobile telephone. The secondary antenna is a small and compact antenna. When the mobile telephone is in the paging position, the primary antenna is placed in the folded down, folded up or retracted-in position, wherein the secondary antenna is also connected to the radio circuits. The two antennas form an antenna device which has good receiving sensitivity and is compact.
