Abstract:
Antenna elements operable to radiate different patterns are provided. A particular apparatus includes a first antenna element having a plurality of radiating elements. Each of the radiating elements includes a first member having a first end and a second end. The first end is coupled to an antenna interface and the second end extends a length of the first member from the first end. Each of the radiating elements further includes a second member having a third end and a fourth end. The third end is electrically coupled to the first member at a point partway along the length of the first member. The fourth end extends away from the first member. When a first radiating element is radiating in the presence of a second radiating element, a null is generated in a radiation pattern of the first radiating element.
