Mitigating co-channel interference in multi-radio devices
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a first reflector portion having a first mount for a first antenna that is configured to operate in a first frequency range, wherein the first mount characterizes an emission point of a main lobe of the first antenna; and
a second reflector portion having a second mount for a second antenna that is configured to operate in a second frequency range that overlaps the first frequency range, wherein the second mount characterizes an emission point of a main lobe of the second antenna;
wherein the first reflector portion is at least in part arranged in a first plane and the second reflector portion is at least in part arranged in a second plane that is different from the first plane in order to satisfy a near-field interference isolation criterion between the first and second antennae, and a first distance between the first and second mounts is less than a second distance between the first and second antenna mounts arranged in the first plane due to increased spatial diversity between the first and second antennae.

Abstract
In one implementation, an apparatus includes: a first reflector portion having a first mount for a first antenna that is configured to operate in a first frequency range, where the first mount characterizes an emission point of a main lobe of the first antenna; and a second reflector portion having a second mount for a second antenna that is configured to operate in a second frequency range that overlaps the first frequency range, where the second mount characterizes an emission point of a main lobe of the second antenna. The second reflector portion is arranged relative to the first reflector portion in order to satisfy a near-field interference isolation criterion between the first and second antennae. In some implementations, the distance between the antenna mounts is less than a distance between the antenna mounts arranged in a plane due to increased spatial diversity between the first and second antennae.
