Abstract:
An apparatus is provided including a first antenna with a top face; a bottom face; and a periphery defined by an upper portion, a lower portion, and a pair of side portions. The first slot comprises a body, a first arm, and a second arm that divides the first antenna into a first portion, a second portion, a third portion, and a fourth portion. The first portion is larger than the third portion, and the third portion is larger than the second portion and the fourth portion. Further, the body of the first slot extends between the side portions of the periphery. Still yet, the first arm and the second arm extend between the body and one of the upper portion and the lower portion of the periphery. A dielectric is positioned in the first slot for providing continuous insulation between the first portion, the second portion, the third portion, and the fourth portion.
