Abstract
An antenna includes a radiator arrangement and a feed mechanism operably coupled with the radiator arrangement for affecting operation of the radiator arrangement. The feed mechanism is configured to selectively operate in at least three different states. When the feed mechanism operates in a first state, the antenna operates in a first mode to provide a broadside radiation pattern. When the feed mechanism operates in a second state, the antenna operates in a second mode to provide an omnidirectional radiation pattern. When the feed mechanism operates in a third state, the antenna operates in a third mode to provide a unilateral radiation pattern.
