Abstract
An antenna assembly achieving improved directionality and signal strength using a configured conductive radiator disposed in relationship with the ground plane element of a wireless communication device. The configured conductive radiator includes an elongate slot aperture and surfaces directed toward the ground plane element. The antenna assembly further includes a dielectric element for communicatively coupling the conductive radiator and the ground plane member. Preferably, the dielectric element may be disposed between a portion of the radiator element and the ground plane member, thus forming a compact, directional antenna system.
