First Claim
Patent Images
1. An omnidirectional multiple unit antenna, which comprises:
- a mounting assembly; and
a plurality of sector antennas carried on the mounting assembly, each sector antenna being active to send or receive signals primarily through an angular, horizontal sector having an angle of no more than 180°
around the mounting assembly, the sector antennas carried on the mounting assembly being positioned so that the sectors of the respective antennas cover substantially all horizontal directions, each sector antenna having a separate input.

Abstract
An omnidirectional, multiple unit antenna comprises a mounting assembly and a plurality of sector antennas carried on the mounting assembly. Each sector antenna is active to send or receive signals primarily through an angular, horizontal sector having an angle of no more than about 180° around the mounting assembly. The sector antennas carried on the mounting assembly are positioned so that sectors of the respective antennas cover substantially all horizontal directions. Each sector antenna preferably has a separate input, for improved control.
