1. An antenna apparatus, comprising:

  • a substrate having a first side and a second side substantially parallel to the first side;

    a plurality of antenna elements on the first side, each antenna element configured to be selectively coupled to a communication device to form a first portion of a modified dipole; and

    a ground component on the second side, the ground component configured to form a second portion of the modified dipole, each modified dipole having one or more loading structures configured to decrease a footprint of the modified dipole and produce a directional radiation pattern with polarization substantially in the plane of the substrate.
