  • Patent number: 11283172
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an integration module system of millimeter-wave and non-millimeter-wave antennas and an electronic apparatus, the system comprising a millimeter-wave antenna module and a non-millimeter-wave environment, the millimeter-wave antenna module forming a communication connection with the non-millimeter-wave environment for realizing reusing of the millimeter-wave antenna module to achieve a function of non-millimeter-wave antenna(s). The present invention proposes directly reusing a millimeter-wave antenna module, which is designed so that this module also has an antenna function of a non-millimeter-wave module, while an individual module's own volume does not need to be increased, and the module itself does not need to have additionally-added antenna traces, that is, with the same volume, a function of non-millimeter-wave antenna(s) may be further added.

  • Patent number: 11183752
    Abstract: The embodiment of the present disclosure provides an antenna structure and an antenna array. The antenna structure comprises a first antenna component which comprises: a first three-dimensional antenna with one end grounded or connected with a reference potential; a single antenna port connected with the other end of the first three-dimensional antenna; and a first parasitic structure provided adjacent to the first three-dimensional antenna. In the antenna structure, the first three-dimensional antenna is only connected with a single antenna port, so that the number of ports required by the antenna can be reduced, that is, the power consumption can be reduced from the antenna dimension, thereby simultaneously reducing heat generation and maintaining stable overall wireless performance.
