A reflective array antenna includes a substrate and a plurality of reflective antenna elements. The substrate includes a first surface and a second surface that are disposed opposite to each other, the first surface including at least one mounting area. A plurality of reflective antenna elements is distributed in an array and are disposed in each mounting area. The reflective array antenna in this disclosure can meet a requirement for blind area coverage and can reduce use of an active device to reduce costs.

Antenna system, signal processing system, and signal processing method

This application discloses an antenna apparatus, including an antenna array and an adjustable phase shifter. In each row of antenna elements in the antenna array, antenna elements on a same radio frequency RF channel are spaced by M antenna elements, where M is used to determine a quantity of beams in a first beam group and a quantity of beams in a second beam group, and M is an integer greater than 1. When the adjustable phase shifter is at a first angle, the first beam group is obtained; or when the adjustable phase shifter is at a second angle, the second beam group is obtained. This application discloses a beam adjustment method. In this application, a plurality of beams can be formed in a horizontal direction, and the beams are grouped by using an adjustable phase shifter, thereby effectively improving beam adjustment flexibility.

Embodiments of the present invention disclose an interleaved polarized multi-beam antenna, including: at least one dual-polarized antenna element, where the dual-polarized antenna element includes a +45-degree-polarized first antenna element and a &#x2212;45-degree-polarized second antenna element; and a first Butler matrix and a second Butler matrix, where the first Butler matrix is connected to the first antenna element so that the first antenna element transmits a first target beam, and the second Butler matrix is connected to the second antenna element so that the second antenna element transmits a second target beam. The first target beam and the second target beam in the embodiments are alternately arranged, and any two adjacent first target beam and second target beam have different polarization characteristics; therefore, complexity, a loss, and costs of implementation of a Butler matrix can be effectively reduced, and interference between adjacent multiplexed beams can be effectively decreased.
