Claim Text:
1. An antenna, comprising: a dielectric material having i) a first side opposite a second side, and ii) a conductive via therein; a first planar conducting element on the first side of the dielectric material, the first planar conducting element having i) an electrical connection to the conductive via, and ii) a plurality of electromagnetic radiators, wherein at least two open slots are formed by the plurality of electromagnetic radiators in the first planar conducting element; a second planar conducting element on the first side of the dielectric material, wherein the first and second planar conducting elements are separated by a gap that electrically isolates the first planar conducting element from the second planar conducting element; and an electrical microstrip feed line on the second side of the dielectric material, the electrical microstrip feed line electrically connected to the conductive via and having a route extending from the conductive via, to across the gap, to under the second planar conducting element, the route changing direction under the second planar conducting element on the second side of the dielectric material, the second planar conducting element providing a reference plane for both the electrical microstrip feed line and the first planar conducting element.
