ANTENNA ARRAY STRUCTURE WITH DIFFERING ANTENNAS

摘要

An antenna array structure includes a plurality of antennas, wherein a first antenna has a first geometric shape, provides a first radiation pattern, and has a first frequency bandwidth. A second antenna has a second geometric shape to provide a second radiation pattern and has a second frequency bandwidth. The first and second frequency bandwidths at least partially overlap to include channels of interest. An antenna processing circuit sends one or more transmit signals to one or more of the antennas for transmission via one or more of the channels of interest and receives one or more receive signals from the one or more of the antennas or from another one or more of the antennas via the one or more of the channels of interest or from another one or more of the channels of interest.

1. An antenna array structure comprising:a plurality of antennas, wherein:
a first antenna of the plurality of antennas having a first geometric shape to provide a first radiation pattern and having a first frequency bandwidth; a second antenna of the plurality of antennas having a second geometric shape to provide a second radiation pattern and having a second frequency bandwidth, wherein the first and second frequency bandwidths at least partially overlap and wherein channels of interest are within the at least partially overlapping first and second frequency bandwidths; andan antenna processing circuit operable to:
send one or more transmit signals to one or more of the plurality of antennas for transmission via one or more of the channels of interest; and receive one or more receive signals from the one or more of the plurality of antennas or from another one or more of the plurality of antennas via the one or more of the channels of interest or from another one or more of the channels of interest.
