A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11863246B2) discloses a device comprising a modem with two feed ports and two planar dual-polarized sub-arrays. The first sub-array includes two orthogonally polarized elements connected to the feed ports, while the second sub-array also consists of two orthogonally polarized elements linked to the feed ports. By combining the outputs of these sub-arrays, a collective beamwidth greater than the individual beamwidths is generated, enhancing the overall performance of the device. The predetermined phases and amplitudes of the elements are crucial in determining the polarization of signals transmitted and received by the device.
Furthermore, the patent describes additional features such as power combiners and splitters, a third planar dual-polarized sub-array, and a feed network that optimizes the power distribution across the beamwidth. The device's design allows for constructive interference between the sub-arrays, resulting in a more extensive radiation pattern than each sub-array's individual pattern. By strategically delaying the phase of power to the elements, the device can manipulate the polarization trajectory around a Poincaré sphere, ensuring optimal power distribution. These innovative features contribute to the device's ability to efficiently transmit and receive signals while maintaining a high level of performance and reliability in various applications.
