1. An antenna array comprising:
- a mounting bracket;
a customized planar substrate having a first plurality of conductive elements, and from which planar substrate a second plurality of conductive elements has been removed, the customized planar substrate being attached to the mounting bracket;
wherein the customized planar substrate is folded to thereby reduce a height of the customized planar substrate; and
at least one bow tie antenna coupled to the mounting bracket.

Abstract
Techniques for providing multi-directional receiving antenna arrays are described herein. According to an embodiment, an apparatus includes an antenna array including multiple antennas and an orientation system. The orientation system includes multiple orientation marks and multiple alignment marks. At least one of the multiple antennas is configured to be positioned toward a respective station transmitter location based at least partially on an alignment of one of the multiple orientation marks relative to one of the multiple alignment marks.
