A modal antenna, comprising:
- an antenna element comprising a curved conical portion and a top portion, the top portion comprising an undulating annular ring on the curved conical portion;
- and
- a parasitic element positioned at least partially within a gap defined in the curved conical portion of the antenna element.
A method for controlling a modal antenna, the method comprising:
- determining, by one or more control devices, a selected mode of a plurality of modes for the modal antenna, each mode of the plurality of modes associated with a distinct radiation pattern of the modal antenna;
- and
- controlling, by the one or more control devices, a parasitic element of the modal antenna to configure the modal antenna in the selected mode, the parasitic element positioned at least partially within a gap defined in a curved conical portion of an antenna element of the modal antenna.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a circuit board having a ground plane;
- a modal antenna positioned on a first surface of the circuit board, the modal antenna comprising:
- an antenna element comprising a curved conical portion and a top portion, the top portion comprising an undulating annular ring disposed on the curved conical portion;
- and
- a parasitic element positioned at least partially within a gap defined in the curved conical portion of the antenna element.
