1. An antenna for a wireless device, comprising:
- a meander structure formed from a plurality of meanders, wherein the plurality of meanders comprises a first group of meanders and a second group of meanders; and
a conductive strip connected in parallel to the meander structure and including a plurality of tabs projecting toward the meander structure, wherein the plurality of tabs comprises a first group of tabs and a second group of tabs, wherein a first group of tabs is connected to a first group of meanders corresponding to the first group of tabs, wherein each tab in the first group of tabs is directly connected to a respective meander in the first group of meanders, and wherein a second group of tabs is not directly connected to a second group of meanders corresponding to the second group of tabs.
