  • Publication number: 20240137075
    Abstract: A reflect array that sets a reflection angle of a radio wave to an angle that is different from an angle of specular reflection. The reflect array includes a plurality of cells arranged in an array. Each of the plurality of cells includes at least two main resonant elements and a parasitic resonant element coupled to the at least two main resonant elements. The parasitic resonant element is configured to adjust a resonant frequency of the parasitic resonant element and adjust a reflection phase of a surface of the reflect array by adjusting a resonant frequency of the at least two main resonant elements each adjacent to the parasitic resonant element, to which the parasitic resonant element is coupled.

  • Publication number: 20230387583
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an antenna device that includes a filter layer, an antenna layer, a divider layer, and ground patterns. The antenna layer has first and second radiation conductors and first and second ground pillars that surround the first and second radiation conductors, respectively. Each of the first and second ground patterns has a first area that overlaps a first space surrounded by the first ground pillars, a second area that overlaps a second space surrounded by the plurality of second ground pillars, and a third area that connects the first and second areas. A width of the third area in a width direction perpendicular to an arrangement direction of the first and second areas is smaller than a width of each of the first and second areas in the width direction.

  • Patent number: 11632161
    Abstract: A communication apparatus capable of wireless communication with another communication apparatus via a first communication path and a second communication path sets a directivity of an antenna to a first directivity capable of wireless communication via the first communication path and receives data from the another communication apparatus via the first communication path. When the communication apparatus sends an acknowledgement signal to the another communication apparatus via the first communication path in response to reception of the data, the communication apparatus sets the directivity of the antenna to a second directivity capable of wireless communication via the first communication path and wireless communication via the second communication path for a set period thereafter.

  • Patent number: 10236971
    Abstract: To provide a technique capable of reducing the transmission delay of an image, a communication apparatus wirelessly communicable with another communication apparatus, receives a compressed captured image from the other communication apparatus; decompresses the compressed captured image to obtain a decompressed captured image; generates, based on the decompressed captured image, a CG image to be superimposed and displayed on the captured image; and compresses the CG image to generate a compressed CG image; transmits the compressed CG image to the other communication apparatus. Then, the communication apparatus derives a delay time based on a transmission time of the compressed captured image in the other communication apparatus and a generation completion time of the CG image; and changes a compression ratio of the CG image based on whether the delay time is longer than a predetermined threshold.
