Technical Highlight: The patent of LinQ’s Wave Guide Array (WGA)
antenna technology was granted by USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark
Office) on April 21, 2026. The patent number is “12,609,457 B2”.
Empowering
5G/6G Networks with Zero-Compromise Efficiency
At
the heart of LinQ Antenna’s commercial success lies our pioneering Waveguide
Integrated Antenna Structure, protected by U.S. Patent No. 12,609,457 B2.
As
global networks transition to 6GHz, and beyond, traditional antenna designs
suffer from massive signal degradation. LinQ's patented architecture eliminates
these bottlenecks entirely.
Key
Technical Advantages
1.
Near-Zero Internal Loss: The "All-Metal" Waveguide Advantage
-
The Challenge: Traditional
sector antennas rely on complex coaxial cables and microstrip distribution
networks on PCBs. At high frequencies, these dielectric materials act as a
"sponge," absorbing rf energy and generating parasitic heat.
-
Our Innovation: Patent No.
12,609,457 B2 introduces an ultra-precise, all-metal
waveguide radiator integrated directly with an all-metal feeding network.
By routing signals through an air-dielectric waveguide cavity, internal
dielectric loss is virtually zero.
-
The Value: Reclaims 1.5 dB
to 3.0+ dB of link budget that would otherwise be lost as heat. This
ensures that every watt of RF power from the radio is efficiently
delivered into space.
2.
Compact Form Factor with Ultra-High Gain
-
The Challenge: To achieve
19dBi+ high gain, traditional antennas must stack a massive array of
radiation elements, resulting in bulky, heavy enclosures with high wind
load and hefty tower-rental fees.
-
Our Innovation: Due to the
near-zero internal insertion loss of our patented waveguide feeding
network, each radiating element operates at peak theoretical efficiency.
-
The Value: LinQ can achieve industry-leading gain metrics using significantly fewer
radiating elements. For example, our 6GHz sector antennas are up to 45% shorter
than competitors. This ultra-compact profile minimizes wind resistance,
simplifies "tower climbing" installations, and dramatically reduces
OpEx/tower-space costs.
