Abstract
An antenna array includes: a first antenna array including M first antenna array units, M being a natural number; a second antenna array including R×M second antenna array units, R being a natural number greater than or equal to 2; and a control circuit configured to control the first antenna array and the second antenna array to generate radiation patterns. Each of the first antenna array units includes R×N first antenna elements, N being a natural number. Each of the second antenna array units includes N second antenna elements.
Claims19
An antenna array, comprising:
- a first antenna array comprising M first antenna subset array units, M being a natural number, a first antenna subset array unit, of the M first antenna subset array units, corresponding to a subset of the first antenna array;
- a second antenna array comprising R×M second antenna subset array units, R being a natural number greater than or equal to 2, a second antenna subset array unit, of the R×M second antenna subset array units, corresponding to a subset of the second antenna array;
- and
- a control circuit configured to control the first antenna array and the second antenna array to generate radiation patterns,
- wherein each of the first antenna subset array units comprises R×N first antenna elements, N being a natural number,
- wherein each of the second antenna subset array units comprises N second antenna elements, and
- wherein a number of first antenna elements included in the first antenna array is equal to a number of second antenna elements included in the second antenna array.
An operation method of an antenna array, the operation method comprising:
- receiving a user input;
- and
- controlling a first antenna array and a second antenna array to generate radiation patterns corresponding to the user input,
- wherein
- the first antenna array comprises M first antenna subset array units, M being a natural number, a first antenna subset array unit, of the M first antenna subset array units, corresponding to a subset of the first antenna array,
- the second antenna array comprises R×M second antenna subset array units, R being a natural number greater than or equal to 2, a second antenna subset array unit, of the R×M second antenna subset array units, corresponding to a subset of the second antenna array,
- each of the first antenna subset array units comprises R×N first antenna elements, N being a natural number,
- each of the second antenna subset array units comprises N second antenna elements, and
- a number of first antenna elements included in the first antenna array is equal to a number of second antenna elements included in the second antenna array.
