A compact patch antenna array for mobile terminal applications comprising: a plurality of radiators mounted on one surface of a dielectric, with a ground plane being mounted on the other side of the dielectric. Beneath the ground plane, another dielectric with feeding network is placed. Other embodiments are described and shown in FIG.

Compact patch antenna array

An analog-to-digital conversion system includes a first processor, a bank of N analog-to-digital converters, and a second processor. The first processor receives M input signal streams, performs a wave-front multiplexing transform that includes a first set of wave-front vectors on the M input signal streams in analog domain and outputs concurrently N mixed signal streams, M and N being integers and N&#x2267;M&#x3e;1. The N analog-to-digital converters convert the N mixed signal streams from analog format to digital format and output concurrently N digital data streams. The second processor receives the N digital data streams, performs a wave-front de-multiplexing transform that includes a second set of wave-front vectors on the N digital data streams in digital domain and outputs concurrently N output data streams such that the N output data streams include M output data streams that correspond respectively to the M input signal streams.

Analog-to-digital conversion with noise injection via wavefront multiplexing techniques

A novel noise injection technique is presented to improve dynamic range with low resolution and low speed analog to digital converters. This technique combines incoming signal and noise signal with wave front de-multiplexer and split into several channels. Then low resolution and low speed analog to digital converters are used to sample each channels. All signals are recovered using wave front multiplexer. For advanced design, ground diagnostic signals with optimizing processor can be added to guarantee recovery quality.

A novel wide null forming system achieves both wide bandwidth and beam width null through employing an antenna array to receive and transmit signals to which a complex null weight vector, calculated by perturbation program, is applied. The novel wide null forming system includes a multiple-element antenna array for receiving or transmitting signals. Multiple conditioning units matching the number of elements is present to condition the signals for proper reception and analysis, after which a series of complex multiplier processors adds complex weights. After being weighted each constituent beam is combined in an adding processor to form one composite beam for use by the user.
