ANTENNA HAVING A PLANAR CONDUCTING ELEMENT WITH FIRST AND SECOND END PORTIONS SEPARATED BY A NON-CONDUCTIVE GAP

摘要

In one embodiment, an antenna includes a dielectric material and a planar conducting element. The dielectric material has a first side opposite a second side, with the planar conducting element residing on the first side. The planar conducting element defines a conductive path between first and second end portions of the planar conducting element, which end portions are separated by a non-conductive gap. In another embodiment, an antenna has a planar conducting element defining a conductive path between first and second end portions of the planar conducting element. The planar conducting element has at least two different widths transverse to the conductive path. The first and second end portions of the planar conducting element are separated by a non-conductive gap.
