Patent ID: 8098197

Claim:
A device, comprising: an antenna, the antenna being configured for receiving a circularly-polarized signal as a first linearly-polarized signal and a second linearly-polarized signal, the antenna being a dielectric resonator antenna, the dielectric resonator antenna including a first portion having a first dielectric constant and a second portion having a second dielectric constant, the first dielectric constant being suitable for resonating a Global Positioning System feed of the dielectric resonator antenna, the second dielectric constant being suitable for allowing at least five percent of bandwidth from a Height of Burst feed of the dielectric resonator antenna; circuitry, the circuitry being connected to the antenna, the circuitry being configured for combining the first linearly-polarized signal and the second linearly-polarized signal to produce at least two reception patterns, wherein the reception patterns are created by summing the first linearly-polarized signal and the second linearly-polarized signal via utilization of phase shifting, such that the reception patterns are optimized for at least two substantially different directional orientations.
