Abstract
An apparatus includes a module. The module includes an antenna structure. The antenna structure includes a printed monopole antenna. The antenna structure further includes first and second inductive-capacitive (LC) resonant networks that are coupled to the printed monopole antenna. The antenna structure further includes a double slotted loop coupled to the first and second LC resonant networks.
