1. An antenna apparatus, comprising:
- a ground electrode formed on a first layer;
a conductive patch;
a feed structure electromagnetically coupled to the conductive patch; and
a strip line coupling the conductive patch to the ground electrode,wherein the ground electrode is formed outside a footprint of the conductive patch projected on the first layer so as to reduce a shunt capacitance therebetween.

Abstract
Antenna structure having a ground electrode formed outside a footprint of a conductive patch, wherein the conductive patch is a radiating element of the antenna structure. The antenna structure in one embodiment is a composite left and right handed (CRLH) based structure. Antennas and antenna arrays based on enhanced CRLH metamaterial structures are configured to provide broadband resonances for various multi-band wireless communications.
