A resonator element for use with a wireless communication device. The resonator element is substantially splayed and includes first and second conductive portions which are in divergent relation and which are operatively connected to each other by a conducting element. The first conductive portion includes a ground attachment member and a feed attachment member which may be operatively connected to a ground plane and a radio frequency input/output port, respectively. The resonator also includes an angled slot which extends through the first conductive portion, the conducting element, and partially into the second conductive portion. A significant feature of the present invention relates to the sizing of the slot portion of the resonator element. This slot is much smaller than the wavelength of incident radiation, which is a major advantage over previous, prior art slot antenna designs. In a most preferred embodiment, the resonator element from which the slot is cut out or otherwise removed or formed during fabrication of the resonator element is preferably less than one-eighth (1/8) of the operational wavelength of the 824 to 894 MHz frequency band for which the resonator element is preferably tuned. In order to tune the resonator element (or entire antenna assembly) to a different frequency band of operation, the dimensions for the operative features of the resonator element would be adjusted proportionally.
