Claim 0:
1. An antenna comprising:
a first radiating structure;
a second radiating structure;
a single ground plane located between said first and second radiating structures; and
a feed structure located between said first and second radiating structures,
wherein said feed structure comprises:
a feed line located between said first radiating structure and said single ground plane; and
at least one slot formed in said single ground plane,

and wherein said antenna further includes:
a first electrically conductive connector extending between said first radiating structure and said single ground plane and connecting said first radiating structure to said single ground plane; and
a second electrically conductive connector extending between said first radiating structure and said ground plane and connecting said first radiating structure to said single ground plane,

wherein said first electrically conductive connector is connected to said single ground plane at a first side of said at least one slot, and said second electrically conductive connector is connected to said single ground plane at a second side of said at least one slot, wherein said at least one slot is at least partly located between said first and second electrical connectors.
