Abstract:
A system for providing omnidirectional RF coverage, comprising:an antenna for providing RF coverage to an area associated with the antenna, wherein a structure associated with the antenna shields a first area from the antenna preventing RF coverage in the first area;a first elliptical reflector located on a first side of the antenna to reflect emissions from the antenna into the first area, the first elliptical reflector shielding a second area from RF coverage;a second elliptical reflector located on a second side of the antenna, opposite the first reflector for reflecting emissions from the antenna into the second area; andwherein the first and the second elliptical reflectors are spaced apart such that their surfaces correspond to an ellipse between the first and the second reflectors and a distance between foci of the ellipse corresponds to the width of the structure shielding the first area.
