Abstract

A divider for dividing a radio signal includes an input port, a plurality of output ports and a cavity having one surface coupled to the input port and other surface coupled to the plurality of output ports. The other surface is formed as a curved surface, and the plurality of output ports is disposed on the other surface at certain intervals. The side of the cavity is slantly formed from the one surface to the other surface at a certain angle. The distances between the input port and the plurality of output ports is the same.

Claims (53)

1. A divider for dividing a radio signal, comprising:

an input port;

a plurality of output ports; and

a cavity having one surface coupled to the input port and other surface coupled to the plurality of output ports,

wherein the other surface is formed of a curved surface, and the plurality of output ports is disposed on the other surface at certain intervals,

wherein a side of the cavity is slantly formed from the one surface to the other surface at a certain angle,

wherein the curved surface is formed to be curved in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction,

wherein two or more output ports among the plurality of output ports are arranged in the horizontal direction of the curved surface,

wherein, based the two or more output ports being as a unit, the unit is stacked in multiple stages in the vertical direction of the curved surface,

wherein a first distance between i) the input port and ii) each output ports arranged in the horizontal direction of the curved surface, is identical,

wherein a second distance between i) the input port and ii) each of output ports arranged in the vertical direction of the curved surface, is identical, and

wherein the first distance is equal to the second distance.

2. The divider of claim 1 ,

wherein an inside of the cavity is made of metal.

3. The divider of claim 1 , further comprising:

a barrier rib positioned between adjacent output ports of the plurality of output ports.

4. The divider of claim 1 ,

wherein the plurality of output ports has different areas.

5. The divider of claim 4 ,

wherein the plurality of output ports has a first area or a second area different from the first area, and

wherein an output port having the first area and an output port having the second area are alternately disposed within the unit.

6. The divider of claim 5 ,

wherein after the output ports having the first area are continuously disposed in a way to be adjacent to each other within the unit, the output port having the second area is disposed.

7. One or more antennas for transmitting or receiving a radio signal,

wherein the one or more antennas is coupled to a divider for dividing a radio signal, and

wherein the divider includes:

an input port;

a plurality of output ports; and

a cavity having one surface coupled to the input port and other surface coupled to the plurality of output ports,

wherein the other surface is formed of a curved surface, and the plurality of output ports is disposed on the other surface at certain intervals,

wherein a side of the cavity is slantly formed from the one surface to the other surface at a certain angle,

wherein the curved surface is formed to be curved in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction,

wherein two or more output ports among the plurality of output ports are arranged in the horizontal direction of the curved surface,

wherein, based the two or more output ports being as a unit, the unit is stacked in multiple stages in the vertical direction of the curved surface,

wherein a first distance between i) the input port and ii) each output ports arranged in the horizontal direction of the curved surface, is identical,

wherein a second distance between i) the input port and ii) each of output ports arranged in the vertical direction of the curved surface, is identical, and

wherein the first distance is equal to the second distance.

8. An apparatus for transmitting or receiving a radio signal in a wireless communication system, the apparatus comprising:

one or more antennas;

one or more transceivers configured to transmit or receive the radio signal through the one or more antennas; and

one or more dividers configured to divide an output signal of the one or more transceivers and output the divided signals to the one or more antennas,

wherein each of the one or more dividers includes:

an input port;

a plurality of output ports; and

a cavity having one surface coupled to the input port and other surface coupled to the plurality of output ports,

wherein the other surface is formed of a curved surface, and the plurality of output ports is disposed on the other surface at certain intervals,

wherein a side of the cavity is slantly formed from the one surface to the other surface at a certain angle,

wherein the curved surface is formed to be curved in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction,

wherein two or more output ports among the plurality of output ports are arranged in the horizontal direction of the curved surface,

wherein, based the two or more output ports being as a unit, the unit is stacked in multiple stages in the vertical direction of the curved surface, and

wherein a first distance between i) the input port and ii) each output ports arranged in the horizontal direction of the curved surface, is identical,

wherein a second distance between i) the input port and ii) each of output ports arranged in the vertical direction of the curved surface, is identical, and

wherein the first distance is equal to the second distance.
