摘要： A circuit board for wireless communications includes communication circuitry for modulating and/or demodulating a radio frequency (RF) signal and an antenna apparatus for transmitting and receiving the RF signal, the antenna apparatus having selectable antenna elements located near one or more peripheries of the circuit board. A first antenna element produces a first directional radiation pattern; a second antenna element produces a second directional radiation pattern offset from the first radiation pattern. The antenna elements may include one or more reflectors configured to provide gain and broaden the frequency response of the antenna element. A switching network couples one or more of the selectable elements to the communication circuitry and provides impedance matching regardless of which or how many of the antenna elements are selected. Selecting different combinations of antenna elements results in a configurable radiation pattern; alternatively, selecting several elements may result in an omnidirectional radiation pattern.

摘要： Modulation of a DC voltage to communicate from an antenna controller to a configurable antenna is disclosed. The DC voltage may communicate to both data and power circuits within the configurable antenna. The antenna controller and configurable antenna may be coupled by two electrical conductors over which both the modulated DC voltage and a radio frequency (RF) signal are communicated. By communicating both the RF signal and configuration data over the same two wire conductor, the configuration data can be communicated through a legacy RF connection in the antenna controller.
