Estimating the term…
A multi-layer antenna assembly and related antenna array are provided. In one aspect, a multi-layer antenna assembly includes a first radiating layer(s) and a second radiating layer(s). The second radiating layer(s) is provided below and in parallel to the first radiating layer(s). The second radiating layer(s) overlaps at least partially with the first radiating layer(s). In this regard, an electromagnetic wave radiated vertically from the second radiating layer(s) is horizontally guided by an overlapping portion of the first radiating layer(s). In another aspect, an antenna array can be configured to include a number of multi-layer antenna assemblies to enable radio frequency (RF) beamforming. By employing the multi-layer antenna assemblies in the antenna array, it may be possible to flexibly and naturally steer an RF beam in a desired direction(s) without causing oversized side lobes, thus helping to improve power efficiency and performance of the antenna array.
A multi-layer antenna assembly comprising:
An antenna array comprising a plurality of multi-layer antenna assemblies, each of the plurality of multi-layer antenna assemblies comprising:
A front-end module (FEM) package comprising:
