1. A wireless device having an antenna structure, comprising:
- a cell patch;
a feed structure comprising;
a feed line capacitively coupled to the cell patch;
a meander line coupled to the feed line; and
a conductive structure coupled to the feed line and to extend an effective length of the meander line; and
a conductive line coupling the cell patch to a reference voltage.
