An accessory is provided for use with an existing antenna on a wireless
device to improve directionality and/or signal strength. The accessory
includes a conductive surface that is coupled to the existing antenna
using a clip disposed on an arm that supports the reflector. The
conductive surface is disposed at a quarter wavelength spacing from the
existing antenna. Alternatively, the reflective surface may be made
sufficiently large to reflect received wireless signals in regard to a
plurality of existing antennas that are spaced apart, e.g., internal and
external antennas. The reflector can optionally be curved to achieve a
desired directional characteristic for the wireless signals reflected by
the accessory. Also, a director can be included on the accessory to
provide improved gain and directionality for the wireless signals,
relative to the existing antenna system.
