[0043] With the rapid development of wireless communication technology, antenna systems are facing increasingly high performance requirements, including: higher data transmission rates, wider coverage ranges, higher directivities, and higher frequency ranges. In this context, multi - layer antennas have been gradually widely used. Through multi - layer structure design, different functional modules of the antenna are designed in layers to achieve efficient radiation and reception of signals to meet the above - growing demands.
