  • Patent number: 11581637
    Abstract: A base station antenna includes first and second reflectors that are movable relative to each other, and each of the first and second reflectors includes a plurality of radiating elements on a main reflector surface thereof. A third reflector is movably coupled to the first and second reflectors, and movement of the third reflector causes the first and second reflectors to move relative to each other. A drive mechanism is utilized to move the third reflector and includes a drive shaft, an actuator configured to rotate the drive shaft, and a threaded shaft coupled to the drive shaft and configured to rotate in response to rotation of the drive shaft. Rotational movement of the threaded shaft causes linear movement of the third reflector. A control unit, such as a remote electrical tilt (RET) controller controls the actuator to rotate the driveshaft.

  • Patent number: 11575208
    Abstract: The disclosure provides an ultra-wideband non-metal horn antenna, which includes three combinable non-metal elements such as an impedance matching member, a field adjustment member and an outer cover member. The impedance matching member and the field adjustment member are respectively disposed with a first and second groove structures. The field adjustment member is connected between the impedance matching member and the outer cover member. Therefore, the horn antenna of the disclosure can have a more symmetrical radiation pattern, a smaller antenna size, and ultra-wideband performance.

  • Patent number: 11428844
    Abstract: An imaging system includes a first camera and a second camera. A first antenna arrangement collects image light from a first scene as seen by the first camera, and a second antenna arrangement collects image light from a second, different scene as seen by the second camera. The first antenna arrangement includes a first polarized dish antenna and the second antenna arrangement includes a second polarized dish antenna. The first camera and the second camera are supported with a first polarization of the first polarized dish antenna orthogonal to a second polarization of the second polarized dish antenna such that at least some of the image light from the first scene travels through the second polarized dish antenna to reach the first camera and at least some of the image light from the second scene travels through the first polarized dish antenna to reach the second camera.
