Patent number: 11380992Abstract: An active antenna for UHF/VHF signal receiving is described, the active antenna being capable of configuration in one of a plurality of possible modes. The active antenna includes an antenna element configured for multiple resonances in the UHF/VHF bands, and capable of generating multiple radiation modes as well as active impedance matching using a microprocessor and multi-port switch having variable or multiple selectable modes. The active antenna may include a second antenna element arranged in a right-angle orientation with respect to the first antenna element. The first antenna element, second antenna element, or a combination may be selected for receiving signals in at a desired frequency. A three-dimensional antenna assembly is also described. Each of the examples illustrate an active beam steering antenna capable of UHF/VHF signal receiving.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2019Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: KYOCERA AVX Components (San Diego), Inc.Inventors: John Shamblin, Rowland Jones, Jeffrey Shamblin, Michael Roe, Dhaval Bhavnagari

Patent number: 11283196Abstract: Systems and methods for distributing over the air (OTA) content are provided. In one example, an antenna system can include a network access point. The antenna system can include an OTA antenna system configured to receive an OTA signal associated with media content. The OTA signal can be a VHF signal or a UHF signal. The OTA antenna system can be coupled to the network access point via a universal serial bus (USB) connection. The access point can be configured to perform operations, including receiving a signal associated with the media content from the OTA antenna system via the universal serial bus connection; and communicating media content via a network communication link to one or more client devices. The OTA antenna system can include a modal antenna configurable in a plurality of antenna modes. Each antenna mode can be associated with a distinct radiation pattern or polarization.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2020Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: AVX Antenna, Inc.Inventors: Dhaval Bhavnagari, Aravind Dhulipalla, Sebastian Rowson, Abhishek Singh

Patent number: 11284064Abstract: An antenna system for use with a media device is provided. The antenna system includes a multi-mode active antenna configurable to operate in a plurality of modes. Each mode of the plurality of has a distinct radiation pattern. The antenna system includes a supplemental tuner that is separate from a primary tuner associated with the media device. The antenna system includes a switching device movable between at least two positions to selectively couple the active antenna to the supplemental tuner. When the switching device is in a first position, the active antenna is coupled to the supplemental tuner. When the switching device is in a second position, the active antenna is coupled to the media device.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2020Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: Ethertronics, Inc.Inventors: Michael Roe, John Shamblin, Vahid Manian, Dhaval Bhavnagari
