Abstract
An antenna system may include a backplate that includes an end portion. The antenna system may also include a hybrid antenna that includes first and second antenna elements spaced apart from each other along the end portion of the backplate. The first antenna element may include a type of antenna element that is structurally different from the second antenna element. Additionally, the antenna system may further include a parasitic element between the first and second antenna elements along the end portion of the backplate.
