Abstract
An antenna array system and a method for making the antenna system. The system includes at least two antenna elements serving as transmitter elements, and at least two antenna elements serving as receiver elements. Each of the transmitter antenna and receiver antenna elements include a pair of curved arms, wherein a first arm in the pair of curved arms is configured to be connected from a signal trace of the antenna system. The second arm in the pair of curved arms is configured to be connected to a ground plane.
Claims20
An antenna array system, comprising:
- at least two antenna elements serving as transmitter elements;
- at least two antenna elements serving as receiver elements;
- and
- a substrate having one or more metal and insulating layers, wherein each insulating layer is configured to be of a different material from at least one other layer;
- wherein each of the transmitter antenna and receiver antenna elements include
- a pair of curved arms, wherein a first arm in the pair of curved arms is configured to be connected from a signal trace of the antenna system;
- and
- a second arm in the pair of curved arms is configured to be connected to a ground plane, and
- wherein the antenna elements of the antenna array system are configured to be arranged in a symmetrical arrangement, where the first arm of each of the at least two antenna elements serving as transmitter elements has a direction of curvature that is symmetrical about an axis with respect to a direction of curvature of the first arm of each of the at least two antenna elements serving as transmitter elements.
