Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An antenna structure includes a dielectric material in which antenna array elements are placed on either side. Elements on either side of the dielectric material overlap or are staggered opposing elements. The dielectric material may also include co-located, antenna arrays of array elements radiating in different directions. Antenna array elements may be formed using conformal shielding which applied and selectively removed to create antenna structures. Devices that include the antenna structure can include a casing that is a shaped lens to increase antenna aperture size and enhance antenna performance.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A structure for antenna arrays comprising: a dielectric material having two planar sides; a first set of antenna array elements arranged on one side of the dielectric material, wherein the first set of antenna array elements is connected to a transmitter; and a second set of antenna array elements arranged on the other side of the dielectric material opposing the elements of the first set of antenna array elements, wherein the second set of antenna array…
