  • Publication number: 20240077125
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a vibration damper with adjustable damping force, comprising an inner cylinder with at least one working chamber which exhibits a flow connection to a damping-valve device, wherein the damper-valve device is arranged outside of an outer cylinder, wherein the flow connection has been realized in a component that is separate from the inner cylinder, wherein the separate component is constituted by a pressure-stage adapter which constitutes a part of the working chamber and which exhibits a coupling to the damping-valve device, wherein a base piece is arranged at the end of the inner cylinder, wherein the pressure-stage adapter and the base piece have been combined to form a pressure-stage adapter device.

  • Patent number: 11469516
    Abstract: A multiband antenna system comprises a first massive multiple input multiple output (mMIMO) antenna array comprising a plurality of first antenna elements for use in a first frequency band and at least a second antenna array comprising a plurality of second antenna elements for use in a second frequency band lower than the first frequency band. The second antenna array is at least partially interleaved with the first mMIMO antenna array. The multiband antenna system further includes a distribution network for distributing input and/or output signals of the antenna elements of the second antenna array arranged in a distribution layer, and a transition device.

  • Patent number: 11456544
    Abstract: An antenna that is suitable for multiband operation. The antenna includes a plurality of first radiating elements configured to radiate in a first frequency band. The first radiating elements are arranged in a sparse mMIMO array. The antenna further includes a plurality of second radiating elements configured to radiate in a second frequency band lower than the first frequency band. The second radiating elements are arranged in an array at least partially overlapping with the sparse array. At least some of the second radiating elements are disposed in an area covered by the sparse mMIMO array.

  • Patent number: 11342688
    Abstract: The present invention provides a dual-polarized radiating element comprising a feeding arrangement and four dipole arms. The feeding arrangement comprises four slots, which extend from a periphery towards a center of the feeding arrangement and which are arranged at regular angular intervals forming a first angular arrangement. The four dipole arms extend outwards from the feeding arrangement and are arranged at regular angular intervals to form a second angular arrangement. The second angular arrangement of the four dipole arms is rotated with respect to the first angular arrangement of the four slots.

  • Patent number: 10693538
    Abstract: An apparatus generates a first broadcast beam by feeding a first broadcast beam signal to a first set of dual polarized antenna elements at a first input for a first polarization and a second set of dual polarized antenna elements at a second input for a second polarization. The apparatus generates a second broadcast beam by feeding a second broadcast beam signal to a third set of dual polarized antenna elements at a first input for the first polarization and to a fourth set of dual polarized antenna elements at a second input for the second polarization.
