Abstract
An antenna system. The system comprises first and second spaced-apart antennas each one formed in an upper conductive layer and a lower conductive layer of a printed circuit board. Coupling structures (four coupling structures in one embodiment) disposed between the first and second antennas are formed in either the upper conductive layer or the lower conductive layer and conductively connected to one of the first antenna or the second antenna. The coupling structures formed in the upper conductive layer overlie those formed in the lower conductive layer. The direction of current flow in the coupling structures reduces interference between the electromagnetic fields radiated from the first and the second antennas.
