1. An antenna system, comprising:
- a horizontally polarized antenna;
a vertically polarized antenna coupled to the horizontally polarized antenna by fitting the vertically polarized antenna in a first aperture formed within a printed circuit board of the horizontally polarized antenna, the vertically polarized antenna having a plurality of vertically polarized antenna elements; and
a first reflector coupled to the printed circuit board by fitting the first reflector in a second aperture formed within the printed circuit board.

Abstract
A wireless device having vertically and horizontally polarized antenna arrays can operate at multiple frequencies concurrently. A horizontally polarized antenna array allows for the efficient distribution of RF energy in dual bands using, for example, selectable antenna elements, reflectors and/or directors that create and influence a particular radiation pattern. A vertically polarized array can provide a high-gain dual band wireless environment using reflectors and directors as well. The polarized horizontal antenna arrays and polarized vertical antenna arrays can operate concurrently to provide dual band operation simultaneously.
