A method for wireless communication in a reflective environment includes (a) receiving first wireless signals at a first antenna assembly at least partially via a first reflective environment, (b) generating a first electrical signal from a first antenna element of the first antenna assembly in response to the first wireless signals, the first antenna element having a first polarization, (c) generating a second electrical signal from a second antenna element of the first antenna assembly in response to the first wireless signals, the second antenna element having a second polarization different from the first polarization, (d) shifting phase of at least one of the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal, and (e) after shifting phase, combining at least the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal to generate a combined electrical signal.

Methods and systems for wireless communication in a reflective environment

Communications connectors having a plurality of signal carrying paths include a printed circuit board and a plurality of contacts. The printed circuit board has a plurality of contact pads, a plurality of output terminals, and a plurality of conductive paths that electrically connect at least some of the plurality of contact pads to respective ones of the plurality of output terminals. The contacts each have a plug contact region. In these connectors, a first of the plurality of signal carrying paths extends from the plug contact region of a first of the plurality of contacts to a first of the plurality of output terminals through a first of the contact pads and a first of the conductive paths.

Communications connectors with jackwire contacts and printed circuit boards

Communications connectors that include parasitic conductive loops are provided, such as a wire connection system that includes a first pair of wire connection terminals mounted in a mounting substrate, a second pair of wire connection terminals mounted in a mounting substrate and a parasitic conductive loop mounted adjacent at least the first pair of wire connection terminals.

Communications connectors with parasitic and/or inductive coupling elements for reducing crosstalk and related methods

A telecommunications connector includes first and second pairs of electrical conductors. The first and second pairs of conductors are arranged in one region of the connector such that one conductor of the first pair is selectively positioned to be closer to both of the conductors of the second pair than is the other conductor of the first pair, and such that the one conductor of the first pair couples a common mode signal of a first polarity onto the conductors of the second pair. In another region of the connector the other conductor of the first pair is selectively positioned to be closer to both of the conductors of the second pair to asymmetrically couple a common mode signal of a second polarity onto the conductors of the second pair.
