Abstract: Antenna structures and methods of operating the same of an electronic device are described. One apparatus includes a first radio frequency (RF) feed, a second RF feed and an antenna structure. The antenna structure includes a ground plane, a first antenna element coupled to the first RF feed, a second antenna element coupled to the second RF feed and coupled to the ground plane at a first grounding point located at a distal end of the second antenna element. The first antenna element operates as a first directly-fed element and the second antenna element operates as a first parasitic ground element when RF signals in a first frequency range are applied to the first RF feed. The second antenna element operates as a second directly-fed element when RF signals in a second frequency range are applied to the second RF feed, the second frequency range being higher than the first frequency range. The first antenna element is grounded by the RF short circuit when the RF signals in the second frequency range are applied to the second RF feed.

Abstract: Network hardware devices organized in a Wireless mesh network (WMN) in which the network hardware devices cooperate in distribution of content files to client consumption devices in an environment of limited connectivity to broadband Internet infrastructure are described. One mesh network device includes a micro controller, RF radios, and antenna switching circuitry. The antenna switching circuitry, in response to the control signals from a micro controller, selectively couples individual ones of a first set of antennas to individual channels of the set of RF radios to communicate content data with client consumption devices and selectively couples individual ones of a second set of antennas to other individual channels of the set of RF radios to communicate content data with other mesh network devices in a WMN.

Abstract: Antenna structures and methods of operating the same of a wideband dual-arm antenna of an electronic device are described. One wideband antenna includes a first feeding arm coupled to a radio frequency (RF) feed and a second feeding arm coupled to the RF feed. At least a portion of the second feeding arm is parallel to the first feeding arm. The wideband dual-arm antenna further includes a third arm coupled to the ground plane. The third arm is a parasitic ground element that forms a coupling to the first feeding arm and the second feeding arm. The parasitic element increases a bandwidth of the wideband antenna.

Abstract: Technologies directed to coordinated dynamic analog beamforming are described. One method includes receiving, by a digital controller of a first wireless device, a data packet, the data packet comprising a destination address of a second wireless device. The method further includes retrieving, from memory, beamformer configuration data associated with the destination address, the beamformer configuration data comprising a phase shifter angle value for a radiation pattern. The method sends, to a beamformer circuit, the phase shifter angle value, the beamformer circuit comprises a power splitter and a set of phase shifters (e.g., at least four). The method causes the set of phase shifters to steer the radiation pattern of electromagnetic energy, radiated by an antenna array of elements, at the phase shifter angle value and sends the data packet to the second wireless device via the antenna array.

Abstract: A wireless device includes a radio, a first directional antenna, a second directional antenna, an omnidirectional antenna, and a switch selectively coupled between the radio and the first directional antenna, the second directional antenna, and the omnidirectional antenna. A processor is coupled to the switch and to, for a frame: determine, based on an arbitration table, a destination medium access control address of a client wireless device and identifiers of antennas for transmitting the frame and receiving acknowledgement data; cause the switch to couple the radio to the first directional antenna; transmit the frame to the client wireless device via the first directional antenna, wherein the first client wireless device is located along a first direction with respect to the wireless device; cause the switch to couple the radio to the omnidirectional antenna; and receive an acknowledgment, corresponding to the frame, from the client wireless device via the omnidirectional antenna.

Abstract: Technologies for wireless network devices with surface-link antenna systems mounted on exterior surfaces of buildings are described. One wireless network device includes a housing with a circuit board and a first antenna port. A processor, a first antenna, a first wireless local area network (WLAN) radio, and a second WLAN radio are disposed on the circuit board. The first WLAN radio communicates with a radio of a client device using the first antenna over a first line-of-sight (LOS) or non-LOS wireless link (e.g., 2.4 GHz) inside the building. The second WLAN radio communicates with a radio of a second wireless network device using the second antenna over a second LOS wireless link (e.g., 5 GHz) that is external to the building. The first antenna is located inside the building and the second antenna is located along an exterior surface of the building.

One apparatus includes a radio coupled to a RF feed and an RF switch, a first antenna element coupled to the RF feed, and a second antenna element coupled to the RF switch, the RF switch being coupled to a grounding point of a ground plane. The radio controls the RF switch between a first mode and a second mode. The radio causes the first antenna element to radiate electromagnetic energy in a first radiation pattern in the first mode and causes the second antenna element to radiate electromagnetic energy in a second radiation pattern in the second mode. The second radiation pattern is different than the first radiation pattern.
