Abstract

The techniques described herein relate to a Radio Frequency (RF) communication module for a hand-held mobile electronic device. The Radio Frequency (RF) communication module includes a circuit board and a plurality of antennas disposed on a top side and bottom side of the circuit board. The plurality of antennas comprise a first subset of antennas comprising end-fire antennas and a second subset of antennas comprising broadside antennas. The first subset of antennas and the second subset of antennas also have a bandwidth of approximately 40 percent. The Radio Frequency (RF) communication module also includes a shielded area comprising circuitry coupled to the circuit board for controlling the antennas.
