Patent number: 11936093

Communication apparatus and method for adaptive cooling of antenna elements

Patent number: 11936093

Abstract: A communication apparatus includes an antenna array having a plurality of antenna elements, a plurality of thermoelectric devices that are arranged on the plurality of antenna elements of the antenna array, and a processor that determines which subset of the antenna elements are in an activated state and which are in a deactivated state, and further executes an activation or a deactivation of each of the plurality of thermoelectric devices in synchronization with the activated state or the deactivated state of different subsets of antenna elements of the plurality of antenna elements. Further, the processor controls each of the first plurality of thermoelectric devices to apply adaptive cooling on a first subset of antenna elements to maintain a corresponding temperature in a first specified range and apply adaptive cooling on a second subset of antenna elements to maintain a corresponding temperature in a second specified range.
