Patent ID: 8299967

Claim:
An antenna device structured to engage to a packaging structure, comprising: a first antenna section configured to be in proximity to a first planar section of the packaging structure, the first antenna section comprising a first planar substrate, and at least one first conductive part associated with the first planar substrate; a second antenna section configured to be with and in proximity to a second planar section of the packaging structure, the second antenna section comprising a second planar substrate, and at least one second conductive part associated with the second planar substrate; and a joint antenna section connecting the first and second antenna sections, wherein the at least one first conductive part, the at least one second conductive part and the joint antenna section are electromagnetically coupled to form a composite right and left handed (CRLH) metamaterial (MTM) antenna supporting at least one resonance frequency in an antenna signal and having a dimension less than one half of one wavelength of the resonance frequency.
