20100022261 | UNSCHEDULED PROTOCOLS FOR SWITCHED ANTENNA ARRAYS - In an example embodiment, an apparatus, comprising a first wireless transceiver, a first directional antenna coupled to the first wireless transceiver, a second wireless transceiver, a second directional antenna coupled to the second wireless transceiver, and control logic coupled to the first wireless transceiver and the second wireless transceiver. The first wireless transceiver and second wireless transceiver can concurrently receive wireless signals that are spatially separated. The first wireless transceiver asserts a signal while communicating with another wireless device. The control logic is configured to prevent the second wireless transceiver from 10 transmitting while the first wireless transceiver is asserting the signal. | 01-28-2010 |

20080233888 | MULTI-BAND ANTENNA - An antenna comprising: (a) a conductive ground plane; and (b) a rod shaped monopole element having a conductive surface, oriented out from the ground plane and having a length selected for a first radio frequency band, the monopole element having a current suppressing element conductively attached and surrounding the surface of the monopole element at a location on the monopole element determined by a second frequency band higher than the first frequency band. The rod-shaped monopole element has a relatively wide cross-section such that the antenna is operable over relatively wide ranges of frequencies in one or both of the frequency bands. The antenna is for operation in the 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz bands as used in the IEEE 802.11a,b,g standards. | 09-25-2008 |
20100283585 | IDENTIFICATION OF AN ANTENNA - A system that is operable to adjust operation of a network device is provided. The system includes an identification module that is coupled with an antenna connector that couples the antenna with a network device. The identification module includes an identification characteristic that may be used to determine an antenna characteristic that defines operation of the antenna. The operation of the network device may be adjusted based on the antenna characteristic. | 11-11-2010 |
20100283710 | CONNECTION FOR ANTENNAS OPERATING ABOVE A GROUND PLANE - An antenna system is provided. The antenna system includes a ground plane, an antenna, a feed cable, a cable connector, and an antenna connector. The ground plane has a first ground side and a second ground side. The antenna operates on the first ground side of the ground plane. The feed cable has a center conductor that is configured to transmit signals to and receive signals from the antenna. The cable connector couples the feed cable with the second ground side of the ground plane. The center conductor of the feed cable is electrically isolated from the ground plane and electrically coupled with the antenna connector. The antenna connector electrically couples the center conductor with the antenna. The antenna connector is connected to the center conductor and the feed cable is substantially parallel to the ground plane from the antenna connector to the cable connector. | 11-11-2010 |
