  • Patent number: 12381322
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide an antenna apparatus and an electronic device. The antenna apparatus is provided with a non-resonant unit and a feed unit, to respectively feed a radiation unit and a non-resonant unit. Through feeding power distribution design, the non-resonant unit can assist in exciting a floor characteristic mode. In addition, since a size of the non-resonant unit is much smaller than an electrical length required for resonance of an antenna on this frequency band, the non-resonant unit does not generate a resonance curve on a resonance curve and has no resonance point, to improve radiation efficiency of the antenna without generating new resonance, so as to improve a use effect of a user.

    Abstract: Systems and methods relating to multi-beam forming networks using an antenna array. A matrix circuit for feeding elements of an antenna array to produce multiple beams is provided. To address beam squint issues, beam squint is mitigated by using a series of phase shifters with specific phase-delay performances between the matrix circuit and the antenna array elements. A linearly increasing or decreasing phase difference in the signals fed into adjacent antenna array elements across the array mitigates or eliminates beam squint in the resulting multiple beams. The phase shifters are programmed to provide this increasing or decreasing phase differences.
