1. An antenna system comprising:
- an antenna array including a plurality of antenna elements for selective coupling to a radio frequency feed port, wherein at least two of the plurality of antenna elements generate an omnidirectional radiation pattern having less directionality than a directional radiation pattern of a single antenna element when selectively coupled to the radio frequency feed port; and
an electrically conductive shaping element located proximate the antenna array, the shaping element changing the omnidirectional radiation pattern generated by the at least two of the antenna elements when selectively coupled to the radio frequency feed port.

Abstract
A metallic shaping plate located in the interior housing of a wireless device is disclosed. The metallic shaping plate may influence a radiation pattern being generated by a horizontal antenna array. The result may be an increase in the gain of the array.
