Claims
- 1. A radiating enclosure, comprising:
a dielectric housing having an inner surface and an outer surface; at least one radiating element disposed on the exterior surface of said dielectric housing; a transceiver system housed within said dielectric housing; an electrical connection between said at least one radiating element and said transceiver system and; ground plane material distributed substantially on the entirety of the interior surface of said dielectric housing, said ground plane material electrically coupled to said transceiver system.
- 2. The radiating enclosure of claim 1, wherein said ground plane material is configured to prevent electromagnetic interference from substantially escaping said dielectric housing.
- 3. The radiating enclosure of claim 1, wherein said at least one radiating element is formed from a thin sheet of conductive material adhesively applied to the exterior surface of said dielectric housing.
- 4. The radiating enclosure of claim 1, wherein said at least one radiating element is formed on the exterior surface of said dielectric housing by an electro-deposition process.
- 5. The radiating enclosure of claim 1, wherein said at least one radiating element is printed on the exterior surface of said dielectric housing.
- 6. The radiating enclosure of claim 1, further comprising a protective covering over said at least one radiating element.
- 7. The radiating enclosure of claim 1, wherein said dielectric housing is formed through an injection molding process.
- 8. The radiating enclosure of claim 1, further comprising a plurality of transceiver systems housed within said dielectric housing, wherein said ground plane material is electrically coupled to said plurality of transceiver systems.
- 9. The radiating enclosure of claim 1, wherein said dielectric housing is essentially in the shape of a rectangular box.
- 10. The radiating enclosure of claim 1, wherein said at a least one radiating element has an essentially planar shape.
- 11. The radiating enclosure of claim 1, wherein said at least one radiating element has a curved shape.
- 12. A radiating enclosure, comprising:
a dielectric housing having an inner surface and an outer surface; a plurality of radiating elements disposed on the exterior surface of said dielectric housing; a plurality of transceiver systems housed within said dielectric housing; a plurality of electrical connections between said plurality of radiating elements and said plurality of transceiver systems; and ground plane material distributed substantially on the entirety of the interior surface of said dielectric housing, said ground plane material electrically coupled to said plurality of transceiver systems.
- 13. The radiating enclosure of claim 12, wherein said ground plane material is configured to prevent electromagnetic interference from substantially escaping said dielectric housing.
- 14. The radiating enclosure of claim 12, wherein each of said plurality of radiating elements is formed from a thin sheet of conductive material adhesively applied to the exterior surface of said dielectric housing.
- 15. The radiating enclosure of claim 12, wherein each of said plurality of radiating elements is formed on the exterior surface of said dielectric housing by an electro-deposition process.
- 16. The radiating enclosure of claim 12, wherein each of said plurality of radiating elements is printed on the exterior surface of said dielectric housing.
- 17. The radiating enclosure of claim 12, further comprising a protective covering over said plurality of radiating elements.
- 18. The radiating enclosure of claim 12, wherein said dielectric housing is formed through an injection molding process.
- 19. The radiating enclosure of claim 12, wherein said dielectric housing is essentially in the shape of a rectangular box.
- 20. The radiating enclosure of claim 12, wherein each of said plurality of radiating elements has an essentially planar shape.
- 21. The radiating enclosure of claim 12, wherein each of said plurality of radiating elements has a curved shape.
