DIRECTOR ELEMENT FOR RADIO DEVICES

摘要

An antenna assembly (12) for a hand-held radio transceiver (10), examples of which include a cellular telephone and PCS device. A multiple element antenna assembly (12) is utilized to provide improved performance characteristics. The antenna assembly (12) may include a conductive radiation director element (30) and a support member (32) for maintaining the director element (30) in deployed orientations. The antenna assembly (12) may be selectively attached to a base portion (42) of an active antenna element (26) of a transceiver (10) or may be pivotally secured to the transceiver (10).
