1. A communication device, comprising:
- a substrate layer of substantially electrically nonconductive material having two substantially parallel surfaces;
an antenna element disposed on one of the surfaces;
a ground layer of substantially electrically conductive material disposed on the other surface and having an opening formed therethrough opposite from the antenna element; and
a transceiver device mounted to the ground layer to transmit and/or receive electromagnetic energy through the opening.
