Abstract

A phased-array smart antenna for transmitting an electronic wave signal having a wavelength includes a first antenna, a second antenna, and a third antenna. The first antenna, the second antenna, and the third antenna form a triangle and are respectively located at three vertices of the triangle. The first antenna, the second antenna, and the third antenna are activated at the same time for transmitting the electronic wave signal.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A phased-array smart antenna for transmitting an electronic wave signal having a wavelength, comprising:
a first antenna;
a second antenna;
a third antenna;
a first control circuit, coupled to the first antenna at a first node;
a second control circuit, coupled to the second antenna at a second node;
a third control circuit, coupled to the third antenna at a third node; and
a processor, respectively controlling a first voltage provided to the fir…
