1. An antenna for a communication device comprising:
- a first body;
a spacer adjacent to the first body;
a second body adjacent to the spacer such that the spacer is between the first and second bodies, the second body configured as a monopole, the second body having a perimeter that is smaller than a perimeter of the first body;
the first body configured as an artificial metasurface ground plane (AMSGP) having resonators backed by a metallic sheet, the metallic sheet configured as the ground plane of the AMSGP, the AMSGP configured as a primary radiator that operates as a slot array with amplitude tapering.

Abstract
An antenna includes a first body having an array of resonators; a spacer adjacent to the first body, and a second body adjacent to the spacer such that the spacer is between the first and second bodies. The first body can be configured as an artificial metasurface ground plane and the second body can be configured as a monopole.
