Abstract
Various embodiments of the present invention pertain to an instrument comprising a plane lens antenna and a control method thereof. Particularly, embodiments pertain to an instrument comprising a plane lens antenna capable of adjusting the gain and/or coverage of a wireless communication radio wave, and to a control method of the instrument. The instrument according to the various embodiments may comprise: a first plane lens antenna in which a plurality of unit cells are disposed in a predetermined pattern; and a first support member for retaining the first plane lens antenna such that the antenna can have a predetermined distance with an external antenna device.
Claims14
An instrument comprising:
- a first plane lens antenna including a plurality of unit cells disposed in a predetermined pattern;
- and
- a first support member for allowing the first plane lens antenna to maintain a predetermined distance from an external antenna device including one or more antennas,
- wherein the first support member is configured to adjust a distance between the external antenna device and the first plane lens antenna in response to a signal requesting a distance adjustment.
A control method of an electronic device including a plane lens antenna, the method comprising:
- receiving, from at least one base station, a first signal strength measurement value of a set-top box device;
- comparing the first signal strength measurement value with a pre-stored threshold value;
- controlling an operation of a driving unit in case that the first signal strength measurement value is smaller than the pre-stored threshold value;
- and
- receiving, from the at least one base station, a second signal strength measurement value of the set-top box device.
An electronic device comprising:
- a plane lens antenna including a plurality of unit cells disposed in a predetermined pattern;
- a communication interface configured to communicate with at least one base station;
- a driving unit including at least one motor;
- a memory storing instructions;
- and
- a processor electrically connected to the driving unit, the communication interface, and the memory,
- wherein the memory stores instructions that cause, when executed, the processor to:
- receive a first signal strength measurement value of a set-top box device from the at least one base station by controlling the communication interface,
- compare the first signal strength measurement value with a pre-stored threshold value,
- control an operation of a driving unit in case that the first signal strength measurement value is smaller than the pre-stored threshold value, and
- receive a second signal strength measurement value of the set-top box device from the at least one base station.
