    Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with a conductive housing sidewall and a phased antenna array that conveys radio-frequency signals at frequencies greater than 10 GHz. Each antenna in the array may radiate through a respective aperture in the sidewall. The antenna module may include a folded flexible printed circuit having a first portion and a second portion that extends from an end of the first portion and that is folded with respect to the first portion. The antennas in the phased antenna array may have antenna resonating elements that are distributed between the first and second portions. Forming the antenna module from a folded flexible printed circuit in this way may serve to minimize the thickness of the antenna module, thereby allowing the antenna module to fit between a ledge of the sidewall and a rear housing wall without occupying excessive space within the device.

  • Publication number: 20220352638
    Abstract: This document describes waveguides that use a combination of air dielectric filled channels and non-air dielectric filled channels to obtain beneficial attributes of both air and dielectric waveguides. EM energy loss inside the waveguide compares to a traditional air waveguide. However, with a smaller size than a comparable air waveguide, the example waveguide can occupy less area of a chip or package than a comparable air waveguide of a traditional design. The waveguide has a routing portion with hollow channels filled with an air dielectric. Radiation channels corresponding to each of the hollow channels are loaded with a non-air dielectric. A surface of each of the radiation channels allows EM energy to escape the non-air dielectric. The described waveguide may be particularly advantageous for use in an automotive context, for example, detecting objects in a roadway in a travel path of a vehicle.

    Abstract: A multi-core dielectric circular waveguide (MCDCW) is described. A hybrid mode excitation for multi-core dielectric filled circular waveguide fed parabolic antenna is also described. A multi-core dielectric circular waveguide with four cylinders of different relative permittivity (?r) inside each other is used to generate the hybrid mode (HE11) directly without need for coupling TE11 and TM11 modes as in prior art corrugated waveguide feeders. This mode is preferable to be used as operating mode to feed the reflector. Four concentric cylinders of different relative permittivity ?r are used as an example.

  • Publication number: 20220352640
    Abstract: This document describes techniques, apparatuses, and systems for a multi-layer air waveguide with layer-to-layer connections. Each pre-formed layer of the air waveguide is attached to at least one other pre-formed layer by a mechanical interface. The mechanical interface may be a stud-based interface, a snap fastener-based interface, a ball-and-socket based interface, or a pressure contact interface utilizing irregular roughed surfaces of each pre-formed layer. The mechanical interfaces of the pre-formed layers structurally hold the air waveguide together and electrically couple all of the pre-formed layers. In this manner, the cost of manufacturing the air waveguide antennas may be less expensive than previous manufacturing processes.
