An antenna assembly includes a common reflector and multiple monopole type
antenna elements positioned on a ground plane and fed with a switch
assembly. The switch assembly is capable of feeding individual antennas
as well as combining multiple antennas for improved radiation pattern
coverage. Multiple antenna elements are placed around the common
reflector to cover sectors of space around the antenna assembly to
provide transmission and reception of radio frequency (RF) signals for
mobile communication devices in a wireless network. The ground plane can
be grounded or capacitively coupled to an existing circuit board or metal
surface, allowing for reduced ground plane dimensions.
