17. An antenna comprising:
-
a planar dielectric substrate comprising first and second opposing surfaces and having a longitudinal dimension and a transverse dimension, said substrate comprising a first longitudinal segment and a second longitudinal segment contiguous with said first longitudinal segment and a first longitudinal edge at an end of said first longitudinal segment, a second longitudinal end at an end of said second longitudinal segment, a first side edge, and a second side edge opposite said first side edge; a first meander antenna element disposed on said first surface and in said second longitudinal segment of said substrate, said first meander antenna element comprising a serpentine conductive trace on said first surface of said substrate comprising a plurality of straight trace segments connected to each other by a plurality of turns and having a first end and a second end; a second meander antenna element disposed on said second surface of said substrate generally opposite said first meander antenna element, said second meander antenna element comprising a serpentine conductive trace on said second surface of said substrate comprising a plurality of straight trace segments connected to each other by a plurality of turns and having a first end and a second end; a conductive via between said first and second surfaces of said substrate disposed between said first end of said first meander antenna element and said first end of said second meander antenna element; a feed line comprising a generally straight conductive trace having a length in said longitudinal dimension of said substrate having a first end adjacent said first longitudinal end of said substrate and a second end conductively coupled to said first end of said first meander antenna element and, through said via to said first end of said second meander antenna element; and a ground plane in said first longitudinal segment and on said second surface of said substrate and conductively isolated from said first and second meander antenna elements. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
