<p>An antenna assembly, and an associated method, for a mobile phone operable in a cellular, or other radio, communication system. The antenna assembly causes shifting of an antenna beam pattern exhibited by an antenna transducer to cause formation of the resultant antenna beam pattern which is of a configuration better to facilitate the effectuation of communications with the mobile phone. The antenna assembly includes an active antenna element formed of the antenna transducer (54) and the director element (68). The antenna transducer (54) is formed of a meandering line antenna having a path printed upon a flexible, non-conductive substrate (78) wrapped about a portion of the circumference of a cylinder (82).</p> |
