Abstract: A cell phone antenna system having simple mechanical tilt and heading adjustments. The antennas are mounted to towers or other structures, and include sensors for measuring antenna tilt and/or heading. A single sensor signal is selected and provided to an interface unit. The interface unit processes the sensor signal and provides sensor information to one or more local or remote processors used to control or monitor the antennas. Antenna control signals generated by the local or remote processors may be provided to the interface unit, and resulting power signals directed to individual actuators on the antennas.
Abstract: A Doppler radar module, having an operating frequency of about 2.45 GHz, is constructed in microstrip line technology and has a very small construction size. The Doppler radar module includes a planar antenna, a multilayer circuit board having a circuit for the transmission and reception of microwaves, and a housing made of metal. The planar antenna has a planar dipole whose radiating edges are shorter than their spacing from one another, and a substrate whose thickness is greater than 3 mm. This combination of the antenna and the multilayer circuit board on which the antenna is fastened, makes possible the small construction size with simultaneous excellent functional characteristics, such as high sensitivity with low transmission power and low emission of harmonics.
