Abstract
A wireless radio communication device includes a printed circuit board, a plurality of antennas formed on the printed circuit board, and one or more out-of-plane isolation elements conductively coupled to a ground plane of the printed circuit board. Each antenna extends in a reference plane or in a plane parallel to the reference plane. Each out-of-plane isolation element extends in a direction transverse to the reference plane. Each antenna of the plurality of antennas is configured to resonate in a selected radio frequency (RF) band. The one or more out-of-plane isolation elements are configured to conduct a current in response to excitation of one or more associated antennas that contributes to at least partially cancelling an RF transmission coupling between the one or more antennas and one or more other antennas of the plurality of antennas.
