  • Publication number: 20230261384
    Abstract: This application provides an antenna assembly, including two antenna boards that are placed in a stacked manner. Polarization manners of the two antenna boards are perpendicular to each other, and the two antenna boards are configured to separate a received electromagnetic wave into a horizontal polarization component and a vertical polarization component. A bias voltage is applied to a liquid crystal dielectric layer in the two antenna boards to change ratios of reflection power to transmission power of the two antenna boards, to change a ratio of reflection power of the two polarization components that are obtained through separation, and implement linear polarization at different angles after vector synthesis is performed on the two polarization components. In this way, receive power of an antenna is increased.

  • Patent number: 10622693
    Abstract: A filter unit and a filter are disclosed. The filter unit includes two stacked cavities. Each cavity includes a dielectric substrate, and two surfaces of the dielectric substrate are each provided with a metal covering layer. Connected coupling slots and a row of metal slots parallel to the coupling slots are etched on a metal covering layer. One end of a coupling slot is an open end, and the other end is a closed end. The open end corresponds to a magnetic wall structure, and the closed end corresponds to an electric wall structure. The two cavities are coupled and connected by using the coupling slots.
