Patent ID: 6903687

Claim:
A feed structure, for an antenna having a resonant electric field structure, comprising: a patch element; an integrated circuit attached to the patch element; at least one inner conductor electrically connected to and terminating at the integrated circuit on a first end of the at least one inner conductor, wherein the at least one inner conductor extends through and is not electrically connected to the patch element, and wherein the at least one inner conductor is available for electrical connectivity on a second end of the at least one inner conductor; and at least one outer conductor electrically connected to and terminating at the patch element on a first end of the at least one outer conductor, wherein the at least one outer conductor is available for electrical connectivity on a second end of the at least one outer conductor, and wherein the at least one outer conductor concentrically surrounds the at least one inner conductor from the second end of the at least one inner conductor to the first end of the at least one outer conductor.
