Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A mobile wireless communications device may include a portable housing, a wireless transceiver carried by the portable housing, and a plurality of antennas also carried by the portable housing. Each antenna may have a different gain pattern at a different respective operating frequency, and the antennas may have different shapes to define different gain patterns at a given operating frequency. The mobile wireless communications device may further include a frequency/pattern diversity controller for controlling the wireless transceiver to preferentially operate with the plurality of antennas.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

That which is claimed is: 1. A wireless communications device comprising: a wireless local area network (WLAN) transceiver; a plurality of antennas configured to operate at different respective operating frequencies and having different respective gain patterns, each gain pattern being defined by a maximum gain along a common boresight direction; and a controller configured to cooperate with said WLAN transceiver to preferentially weight received signals from each of said plu…
