Patent ID: 8027636

Claim:
A wireless repeater, comprising: a first and a second multi-band antenna each comprising a first antenna loop responsive to a first band of frequencies and a second antenna loop responsive to a second, different band of frequencies, and each loop has a length of approximately one wavelength of a frequency within their respective bands; a first transceiver electrically coupled to the first antenna; a second transceiver electrically coupled to the second antenna; a conductive ground plane separating (a) the first antenna and the first transceiver from (b) the second antenna and the second transceiver where each of the first and the second multi-band antenna are physically spaced from the conductive ground plane by distances of less than 0.5 wavelengths of a frequency associated with at least one of the first and the second frequency bands; wherein the first multi-band antenna is electrically isolated from the second multi-band antenna by at least 30 dB; and wherein the first and the second transceiver are in electrical communication through the conductive ground plane.
