1. Radio Frequency (RF) communication circuitry, comprising:
a circuit board;
a first set of antennas operable as end-fire antennas and disposed on a first side of the circuit board;
a second set of antennas disposed on a second side of the circuit board and operable as broadside antennas; and
a shielded area comprising circuitry coupled to the circuit board, the circuitry being coupled to the first set of antennas and the second set of antennas,
wherein the first set of antennas and the second set of antennas each have a bandwidth of at least 40 percent, which includes the 28 GHz mmWave band and the 39 GHz mmWave band.
