1. Apparatus comprising:

  • a first millimeter (MM) wave antenna to radiate a first MM wave signal having a wavelength in a range of 1 to 10 millimeters;

    a second MM wave antenna to radiate a second MM wave signal having a wavelength in a range of 1 to 10 millimeters, the second MM wave antenna having an orientation that is different from the first MM wave antenna; and

    a hybrid coupler having outputs connected to the first and second MM wave antennas, the hybrid coupler having inputs to receive a MM wave transmit signal and a phase shifted version of the MM wave transmit signal, and to direct power to the first and second MM wave antennas based on phase adjustments to the phase shifted version of the MM wave transmit signal.
