Patent ID: 8754822

Claim:
A user device, comprising: a dielectric carrier; a multi-band slot antenna comprising a first portion of conductive material disposed on a first side of the dielectric carrier in a first plane and a second portion of conductive material disposed on a second side of the dielectric carrier in a second plane, wherein the multi-band slot antenna comprises a plurality of slot openings in the second portion of the conductive material, wherein the multi-band slot antenna is operable to radiate electromagnetic energy; a director physically coupled to the multi-band slot antenna, wherein the director comprises additional conductive material disposed on the dielectric carrier in the first plane with a gap between the director and the first portion of the conductive material, wherein the director is operable to direct a majority of the radiated electromagnetic energy away from the user device in a first direction; and a feed line connector coupled to the multi-band slot antenna and the director, wherein the first portion of the conductive material has a first elongated shape and the director has a second elongated shape, wherein at least a portion of the second elongated shape is disposed parallel to the first elongated shape with the gap between the director and the first portion of the conductive material on the first side of the dielectric carrier.
