Abstract:

Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems including an electronic apparatus having a configurable sector cavity antenna integrated into a PCB. The configurable sector cavity antenna may include a first panel embedded within a first layer of the PCB along an edge of the first layer, and a second panel embedded within a second layer of the PCB along an edge of the second layer. The configurable sector cavity antenna may further include a fixed via wall to couple the first panel and the second panel along an inner edge of the first panel and the inner edge of the second panel, and a switchable via wall to selectively couple multiple interior points of the first panel and multiple interior points of the second panel. Other embodiments may also be described and claimed
