Abstract:
A method for wireless communication in a reflective environment includes (a) receiving first wireless signals at a first antenna assembly at least partially via a first reflective environment, (b) generating a first electrical signal from a first antenna element of the first antenna assembly in response to the first wireless signals, the first antenna element having a first polarization, (c) generating a second electrical signal from a second antenna element of the first antenna assembly in response to the first wireless signals, the second antenna element having a second polarization different from the first polarization, (d) shifting phase of at least one of the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal, and (e) after shifting phase, combining at least the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal to generate a combined electrical signal.
