Abstract
An antenna array (200) having a number of patch antennas (202, 204, 206, 208) forming a circumferential radius is provided. The antenna array (200) is integrated within a body worn device (200) such as a belt, coat, or harness (210). Location tracking technology is used in conjunction with the antenna array (200) to select the optimal antenna from the array.
