Abstract
An antenna for a wireless device including a meander structure formed from a plurality of meanders and a conductive strip connected in parallel to the meander structure and including a plurality of tabs projecting toward the meander structure, a first group of tabs connected to a first group of meanders corresponding to the first group of tabs, a second group of tabs disconnected from a second group of meanders corresponding to the second group of tabs. In an embodiment, the antenna is incorporated into a wireless device having a transceiver and a finite ground plane.
