AI Technical Summary
The deployment of small cells for 5G network densification in urban areas is hindered by challenges such as finding suitable locations, high costs of outdoor fiber and electricity installation, and urbanistic regulations, while existing planar antennas integrated into building facades face complications in electrical connection, maintenance, and limited frequency band optimization due to component thickness constraints.
A transparent antenna system inscribed in a parallelepiped with a transparent dielectric panel configuration, featuring a patch network, feeding network, and ground plane, where the ground plane is located between the feeding network and the second transparent dielectric panel, allowing for adjustable distances and configurations to optimize transmission and reception, enabling seamless indoor or outdoor placement without impairing urban aesthetics.
This solution facilitates efficient 4G and 5G network densification indoors or outdoors, reducing the need for scaffolding, maintaining electromagnetic field compliance, and allowing for discrete, transparent antenna placement with improved frequency band management and performance.
