Patent attributes
Inconspicuous antenna systems configured to include substantially transparent conducting and dielectric materials or open lattice structures. The antenna systems are capable of distinguishing wireless waveforms over a plurality of different polarization states and directions. Polarized antenna elements are assembled into antenna sets, each set with a different directionality. The different directionality sets in turn form the antenna system. Directionality can be achieved by employing different printed antenna like designs, variable length microstrips, Rotman lenses, active phase adjust, metamaterials, and other methods. The antenna system can be widely used in urban environments and installed as visually inconspicuous retrofits over building windows, street lights, air conditioning units, and the like.
