Multiple input multiple output antenna module and associated method

摘要

A multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna module, comprising a first signal feed port coupled to a first antenna element disposed along a first edge of an antenna array board, a second signal feed port coupled to a second antenna element disposed on the antenna array board and a transceiver operable to be selectively coupled to either or both of the first and second signal feed ports.

主权项

1. A multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna apparatus, comprising:
a planar conductive layer disposed on a non-conductive layer of a printed circuit board; a plurality of antenna slot elements confined to a peripheral section surrounding a central region of the printed circuit board, each antenna slot element of at least a first group of the plurality of antenna slot elements having a respective signal feed port coupled thereto; a first transceiver configured to be selectively coupled to any one or more of the respective signal feed ports; and a second transceiver configured to be selectively coupled to any one or more of the respective signal feed ports, wherein a first antenna slot element of the first group of antenna slot elements has a first polarization and is disposed along a first edge of the printed circuit board.
