Abstract: An antenna module comprising at least two antennas in substantial close proximity and a shield configured to reduce interference between the antennas and/or to shape the antenna coverage areas is disclosed. A substantially triangular shield with antennas positioned at each of the vertices may shape the antenna coverage areas to form virtual sectors.

Abstract: A wireless radio transceiver which reduces interference between antennas positioned in substantially close proximity is disclosed. The exemplary radio transceiver comprises at least two radios, at least one antenna interfacing with each of the radios, at least one antenna spacer mounted to each of the antennas, and at least one shield, wherein each of the antenna spacers are mounted to one of the shields.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for high throughput wireless cells, capable of functioning as access points, are described. The wireless cells may be equipped with multiple radios to increase the amount of throughput available through a single wireless cell. Multiple antennas attached to the radios through RF switches may enable the wireless cell to service multiple clients simultaneously. The physical sectors of the antennas may overlapped to form virtual sectors that provide greater flexibility in client load management and in simultaneously servicing multiple clients. Attenuators may reduce interference from foreign wireless cells or clients. Systems and methods for assigning minimally interfering channels to either physical sectors or to radios to reduce interference between adjacent sectors and overlapping sectors are also disclosed. An antenna horn may also allow any antenna to be used as a directional antenna and may enable the antenna's angle of coverage to be adjusted.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for antennas, wireless cells and networks are described. Antennas use a shield to provide a shape of coverage, area of coverage, and channel assignment pattern configured for high throughput wireless cells and networks. Diplexers are used to form wireless cells configured for high throughput wireless cells and networks.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for high throughput wireless cells and networks are described. The wireless cells may be equipped with multiple radios. Antennas may be arranged into overlapping and non-overlapping patterns. Channels may be assigned to foster servicing clients, and inter-cell communication. Attenuation may be used to decrease interference. Networks may be formed using a variety of methods and apparatus.
