Publication number: 20240097331Abstract: The disclosed system may include a support structure that may be configured to house electronic components. The system may also include a first antenna mounted to the support structure. The first antenna may be configured to provide a wireless intralink on a first frequency to a local mobile electronic device. The system may also include multiple second antennas that are configured to established wireless interlinks on other frequencies to various external wireless networks. The second antennas may be positioned a specified minimum distance away from the first antenna and may be positioned at an at least partially opposing angle to each other. As such, the second antennas may provide at least a minimum threshold amount of spherical radiation to transmit and receive data using the established wireless interlinks. Various other apparatuses, methods of manufacturing, and mobile electronic devices are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Nil Apaydin, Fengyu Ge, Javier Rodriguez De Luis, Gordon Michael Coutts, Meijiao Li, Liang Han, Navid Barani Lonbani, Vignesh Manohar

Patent number: 10333209Abstract: A vehicular radar system with antenna structures to provide volumetric radar scanning for use in vehicles. The vehicular radar system includes a first antenna array having two or more tapered slot end-fire antennas. The vehicular radar system includes a second antenna array having two or more tapered slot end-fire antennas positioned adjacent to the two or more tapered slot end-fire antennas such that the first antenna array is stacked above the second antenna array. A radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) is coupled to the first antenna array and the second antenna array. The RFIC is configured to control each of the two or more tapered slot end-fire antennas of the first antenna array and the two or more tapered slot end-fire antennas of the second antenna array to transmit a signal. At least some signals have different phases so they may be combined to form a three-dimensional radar beam.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2016Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: TOYOTA MOTOR ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING NORTH AMERICA, INC.Inventors: Paul D. Schmalenberg, Meijiao Li, Jae Seung Lee

Patent number: 10020590Abstract: Bracket structures that structurally support and enhance the performance of millimeter-wave tapered-slot end-fire antennas for use in vehicular radar systems. The system includes a first longitudinal rib and a second longitudinal rib, each defining a first longitudinal slot and having a transmission end and a chip connection end. The system includes a crossbeam coupled to the first longitudinal rib and the second longitudinal rib. The system includes a first end-fire antenna having a transmission end that is received by the first longitudinal slot and a chip connection end. The first end-fire antenna is designed to transmit a first signal having a first phase. The system includes a second end-fire antenna having a transmission end that is received by the second longitudinal slot and a chip connection end. The second end-fire antenna is designed to transmit a second signal having a second phase that is different than the first phase.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2016Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: TOYOTA MOTOR ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING NORTH AMERICA, INC.Inventors: Paul D. Schmalenberg, Meijiao Li, Jae Seung Lee
