  • Publication number: 20240072434
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to an active antenna system. The active antenna system comprises an antenna array wherein the antenna array comprises a plurality of sub-arrays; a plurality of feed networks configured to couple respective signals from the plurality of sub-arrays to respective radio chains; and at least one coupling path configured to provide coupling between a first feed network and a second feed network, wherein the first feed network is coupled to a first sub-array and the second feed network is coupled to a second sub-array, wherein the coupling is of a higher magnitude than a lowest magnitude of mutual aperture couplings occurring between antenna elements in the first sub-array and the second sub-array.

  • Publication number: 20230297070
    Abstract: An arrangement and a computer implemented method for three-dimensional (3D) printing of at least one first vehicle component (first VC) for a vehicle is provided. The method includes receiving a request to form the first VC. The method includes obtaining a 3D model for the first VC. The method includes identifying at least one second vehicle component located in proximity to the first VC when mounted on the vehicle. Also, the method includes determining at least one breaking point of the first VC which avoids the first VC to come into contact with the identified at least one second vehicle component in case the first VC should break at the at least one breaking point. The method includes forming a 3D model for the first VC based on the request and the determined at least one breaking point. The method includes instructing a 3D printer to print the 3D model.
