Abstract
An apparatus including: a central portion extending at least in a first direction on an upper surface of a dielectric substrate; a first lateral portion and a second lateral portion extending at least in a second direction, orthogonal to the first direction, on one or more side surfaces of the dielectric substrate to the upper surface of the dielectric substrate wherein the central portion provides a first conductive path between the first lateral portion and the second lateral portion; a second conductive path between the first lateral portion and the second lateral portion; and a monopole antenna element extending in the second direction.

An apparatus comprising:
- a central portion extending at least in a first direction on an upper surface of a dielectric substrate;
- a first lateral portion and a second lateral portion extending at least in a second direction, orthogonal to the first direction, on one or more side surfaces of the dielectric substrate to the upper surface of the dielectric substrate;
- wherein the central portion provides a first conductive path between the first lateral portion and the second lateral portion;
- a second conductive path between the first lateral portion and the second lateral portion;
- and
- a monopole antenna element extending in the second direction,
- wherein the combination of the first conductive path and the second conductive path is configured to have a first resonance and wherein the monopole antenna element is configured to have a second resonance adjacent the first resonance, wherein the first resonance and the second resonance form a combined resonance for the apparatus.
