  • Directional antenna module and method
    Patent number: 10790584
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a directional antenna module comprising: at least one antenna array having at least two antenna elements connected to a 180-degree hybrid providing an inphase summation signal and an out-of-phase summation signal of the antenna signals received from the antenna elements and a switching element adapted to switch between the inphase summation signal and the out-of-phase summation signal output by said 180-degree hybrid in response to a direction finding mode control signal (DFM-CRTL) to provide an antenna output signal at an antenna module output of said directional antenna module. The present invention further relates to a method for direction finding of a signal source.

  • Directional antenna module
    Patent number: 9768493
    Abstract: Directional antenna module (1) comprising at least two directional antennae (2-1, 2-2), contained in a housing (12) of the directional antenna module (1), for adjacent frequency ranges, wherein the directional antennae (2-1, 2-2) are connected to a passive frequency multiplexing unit (5), which multiplexes the antenna signals received from the directional antennae in the various frequency ranges into a wideband signal.
