Pattern/polarized antenna device and beamforming method

Abstract

In an N-port pattern/polarized antenna device, two-type antenna elements are configured to have a radiation pattern to use a spherical vector wave mode with at least N orders, the antenna elements being arranged at intervals not larger than a half wavelength between them. The antenna elements comprise electric field antennas with a radiation pattern distributed in an even mode among the spherical vector wave mode, and magnetic field antennas with a radiation pattern distributed in an odd mode, the electric field antennas and the magnetic field antennas being integrated to face a different direction, each other.
