Abstract

A wireless local area network (100) ('WLAN') antenna array ('WLANAA') is disclosed. The WLANAA may include a circular housing (102) having a plurality of radial sectors (104-134) and a plurality of primary antenna elements (136-166). Each indicidual primary antenna element of the plurality of primary antenna elements may be positioned within an individual radial sector of the plurality of radial sectors.
