Antenna assembly and system
TLDR
An antenna system includes a plurality of antenna assemblies, each assembly is arranged in a different geometrical plane, the antenna assemblies include a driven component and a director array to increase the gain of the antenna assembly as discussed by the authors.Abstract:
An antenna system includes a plurality of antenna assemblies. The antenna assemblies include a driven component and a director array to increase the gain of the antenna assembly. For each antenna assembly of the plurality of antenna assemblies, the driven component and director array are disposed in an antenna plane. Each antenna assembly is arranged in a different geometrical plane.read more

Method and apparatus for coupling an antenna to a device
Paul Shala Henry,Donald J. Barnickel,Farhad Barzegar,Robert Bennett,Irwin Gerszberg,Thomas M. Willis +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a system that receives, by a feed point of a dielectric antenna, electromagnetic waves from a core coupled to the feed point without an electrical return path, and radiates a wireless signal responsive to the electromagnetic waves being received at the aperture.
