Abstract:
1. An antenna comprising: a substrate having first and second substantially parallel conductive surfaces separated by a dielectric; a first radiating element formed from the first conductive surface of the substrate; a first ground plane formed from the first conductive surface and spaced apart from the first radiating element; a second radiating element formed from the second conductive surface of the substrate; a second ground plane formed from the second conductive surface and spaced apart from the second radiating element; wherein the first and second radiating elements have substantially the same geometric shape, are aligned and are electrically connected, and wherein the first and second ground planes have substantially the same geometric shape, are aligned and are electrically connected; a feed terminal in electrical communication with the first radiating element; and a first capacitor connected between a first edge region of the first radiating element and a first edge region of the first ground plane, and an inductor connected in series with the feed terminal.
