1. A dual band antenna system, comprising:
- a plurality of horizontally polarized antenna elements operating at a first frequency and a second frequency;
a plurality of vertically polarized antenna elements coupled to the horizontally polarized antenna elements array and configured to concurrently operating at the first frequency and the second frequency with the horizontally polarized antenna array; and
an antenna selector that concurrently selects a first subset of antenna elements of the plurality of horizontally polarized antenna elements to communicate the first frequency and second frequency and a second subset of antenna element of the plurality of vertically polarzied antenna elements to communicate the first frequency and second frequency.

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.
