MULTIPLE-ANTENNA DEVICE HAVING AN ISOLATION ELEMENT
First Claim
1. A device for interfacing between wireless networks, comprising:
- a shielded multiple transceiver element having first transceiver circuitry on a first side of a printed circuit board coupled to second transceiver circuitry on a second side of the printed circuit board, wherein the a first side is electromagnetically isolated from the second side of the printed circuit board;
a first antenna element mounted on the first side of the printed circuit board and coupled to the first transceiver circuitry, the first antenna element configured to exchange communication signals with a first wireless network; and
a second antenna element mounted on the second side of the printed circuit board and coupled to the second transceiver circuitry, the second antenna element configured to exchange communication signals with a second wireless network.

Abstract
A multiple-antenna device is provided, comprising: a printed circuit board having a ground plane configured to provide electromagnetic isolation between a first side of the printed circuit board and a second side of the printed circuit board; a first non-conductive support member formed over the first side of the printed circuit board; a second non-conductive support member formed over the second side of the printed circuit board; a first antenna formed over the first non-conductive support member; and a second antenna formed over the second non-conductive support member, wherein the first antenna is electrically connected to a first feed point on a first portion of the printed circuit board that is not connected to the ground plane, and wherein the second antenna is electrically connected to a second feed point on a second portion of the printed circuit board that is not connected to the ground plane.
