1. A planar antenna, comprising:
- a top conductor and a bottom conductor that are both nominally planar in shape and that are oriented substantially planarly parallel, wherein said top conductor and said bottom conductor form an antenna interior region there between;
said top conductor including two radiating conductors that each have an inner end and a distal end, wherein said radiating conductors are a first radiating conductor and a second radiating conductor;
a feed that extends from outside of the planar antenna, through said antenna interior region, and to said top conductor; and
said feed includes a balun and has a first feed conductor that connects to said inner end of said first radiating conductor and a second feed conductor that connects to said inner end of said second radiating conductor.

Abstract
A planar antenna having top and bottom nominally planar conductors that are oriented substantially planarly parallel and form an antenna interior region. The top conductor includes two radiating conductors each having an inner end and a distal end. A feed extends from outside of the planar antenna, through the antenna interior region, and to the top conductor. The feed includes a balun and has a first feed conductor that connects to the inner end of the first radiating conductor and a second feed conductor that connects to the inner end of the second radiating conductor.

17. An antenna, comprising:
-
top planar conductive means and bottom planar conductive means that are oriented substantially planarly parallel and form an antenna interior region there between; said top planar conductive means including two radiating conductors each having an inner end and a distal end, wherein said radiating conductors are a first radiating conductor and a second radiating conductor; a feed means extending from outside of the antenna, through said antenna interior region, and to said top planar conductive means; and said feed means includes a balun means and has a first feed conductor means that connects to said inner end of said first radiating conductor and a second feed conductor means that connects to said inner end of said second radiating conductor. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
