RADIO SYSTEM FOR HIGH-SPEED WIRELESS COMMUNICATION

摘要

Indoor/outdoor broadband wireless combined radio/antennas configured to include an integrated adjustable mount allowing mounting to a pole or stand and adjustment of the angle of the device (e.g., the altitude) by a lockable ball joint. The device may include a compact array antenna having a high gain configured to operate in, for example, the 5.15 to 5.85 GHz band and/or the 2.40-2.48 GHz band. The antenna emitters may be arranged in a separate plane from a plane containing the antenna feed connecting the emitting elements and also from a ground plane. The antenna array may be contained within a protective weatherproof housing along with the radio control circuitry. The antenna may be manufactured by a simple stamping/forming process. The apparatuses may be configured for low impedance mismatch and may have a high gain relative to a very small and compact overall shape.

主权项

1. A method of manufacturing an array antenna, the method comprising:
forming a plurality of antenna radiating elements, a plurality of antenna feeds, and a plurality of slant feed lines from a single sheet of metal, so that the plurality of antenna radiating elements are arranged in a first plane and the plurality of antenna feeds are arranged in a second plane adjacent to the first plane, and each antenna radiating element of the plurality of antenna radiating elements is connected one or more of the antenna feeds by one or more of the slant feed lines; and connecting the antenna radiating elements to a ground plate, wherein the ground plate is in a third plane that is adjacent to the second plane.
