Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Embodiments are provided for antenna configurations. An example playback device includes a housing having a metallic face, the metallic face including an opening; a first antenna oriented in a first direction on a plate, the plate forming a ground plane for the first antenna, the first antenna having a first slot aligned with the opening, the first antenna being associated with a first frequency; and a second antenna positioned proximate to the first antenna on the plate and oriented in a second direction opposing the first direction, the second antenna having a second slot aligned with the opening, the second antenna being associated with at least the first frequency, and the second antenna having at least a first portion located at a distance from at least a second portion of the first antenna of one quarter wavelength of the first frequency.
