Antenna structures of a multi-radio, multi-channel (MRMC) mesh network device

An apparatus includes an elongated housing having a first plurality of sidewalls that form a first isolation chamber on a first side of the elongated housing. A first printed circuit board (PCB) includes a first patch element, wherein the PCB defines a first plane. A first parasitic element disposed in a second plane, wherein the first parasitic element is retained a predetermined distance from the first patch element in the first plane. A second PCB is disposed within the elongated housing. A first radio is disposed on the second PCB, wherein the first radio is coupled to the first patch element, and wherein the first patch element and the first parasitic element, in response to radio frequency (RF) signals from the first radio, radiate electromagnetic energy in a first direction away from the first isolation chamber.
