Abstract

A miniaturized directional antenna for use with system to provide data communication over wireless radio channels. The unit supports multiple antenna elements with a known orientation with respect to an earth ground plane reference. This greatly provides predictability in the steerability and other directional attributes of the antenna array using miniaturized chip multilayer or helical antenna elements, the unit may be constructed in a case or other form factor of approximately 3 x 3 x 1 inches for operation within the frequency bands around 1900 MHz.
