Appl. No.:

17/893490

Inventors:

- Spokane WA, US
Robert J. Conley - Liberty Lake WA, US
Mark Wayne Gustafson - Spokane WA, US
Cao Ming - Co. Laois, IE

International Classification:

H04B 3/54
H01Q 3/28
H01Q 3/30
H04B 7/10
G01R 1/04

Abstract:

A device includes a first housing having a first end configured to couple to an electric meter and a second end configured to couple to an electric meter socket. A power module is disposed at least partially within the first housing and is configured to couple to electrical wiring at a premises. The device includes a second housing having an antenna array, a feed network communicatively coupled to the power module and configured to split power and distribute the power to at least one element of one or more sub-arrays of the antenna array, a wireless wide area network (WWAN) module communicatively coupled to the antenna array and the power module, and a broadband over powerline (BPL) interface communicatively coupled to the WWAN module and the power module.

International Classification:

H04B 3/54

Abstract:

An electronic device includes a first housing including a power module and a second housing coupled to the first housing. The second housing includes a first antenna communicatively coupled to the power module, and oriented in a first direction. The second housing further includes a second antenna communicatively coupled to the power module, and oriented in a second direction that is different than the first direction. At least one printed circuit board (PCB) is disposed in the second housing and communicatively coupled to the power module, the first antenna, and the second antenna A modem module resides within the second housing and communicatively couples to the power module, the first antenna, the second antenna, and the at least one PCB. An interface resides within the second housing and communicatively couples to the power module, the first antenna, the second antenna, the at least one PCB, and the modem module.

Abstract:

A device includes a modem having a first feed port and a second feed port. A first planar dual-polarized sub-array has a first beamwidth and includes a first orthogonally polarized element communicatively coupled to the first feed port and a second orthogonally polarized element communicatively coupled to the second feed port. A second planar dual-polarized sub-array has a second beamwidth and includes a third orthogonally polarized element communicatively coupled to the second feed port and a fourth orthogonally polarized element communicatively coupled to the first feed port. The first dual-polarized sub-array and the second planar dual-polarized sub-array generate a collective beamwidth that exceeds the first beamwidth and the second beamwidth.
