1. A computing device, comprising:
a housing; and
a rotatable antenna disposed within the housing, wherein the rotatable antenna comprises:
an inner rod with an excitation source,
an outer shell to surround the inner rod, and
a conductive pattern formed on an outside surface of the outer shell to emit radio frequency (RF) waves in a direction normal to the conductive pattern,
wherein the rotatable antenna is to rotate such that a direction of radiation is maintained in a single direction as the housing is to rotate.
