SYSTEMS AND DEVICES FOR MUTUAL DIRECTIVE BEAM SWITCH ARRAY

Abstract:

An antenna module for beam steering at mm Wave frequencies is described. The antenna module includes a plurality of antenna elements. The antenna module is configured to selectively activate a first antenna element of the plurality of antenna elements, while remaining ones of the plurality of antenna elements are passive, for beam steering in a first direction. The antenna module is further configured to selectively activate a second antenna element of the plurality of antenna elements, while the remaining ones of the plurality of antenna elements and the first antenna element are passive, for beam steering in a second direction. The first antenna element and the second antenna element are respectively configured to resonate at a resonant frequency when activated. Related systems and devices are also described.
