An antenna assembly which is safer for a user of an electronic communications device, such as a cellular telephone, is disclosed. The electronic communications device includes a housing and a communications port. The antenna assembly includes a stationary active member (e.g., an antenna) that is connected to the communications port. The stationary active member may be an existing antenna on the electronic communications device. The antenna assembly also includes a field diverter which is connected to the stationary active member and reduces radiation adjacent to the electronic communications device. The field diverter is made up of a non-stationary active member and a connecting arm which connects the non-stationary active-member to the stationary active member. Power is divided between the stationary active member and the non-stationary active member in order to decrease radiation in an area where a user's head is located by creating a notch in the azimuth pattern near the area where the user's head is located. The notch forms a sector where the radiation is decreased or diverted to an area away from the sector (i.e., away from the user's head).
