1. An apparatus comprising:
- a first ground plane;
a second ground plane;
an antenna including a dipole portion;
a balun coupled to the dipole portion of the antenna, the balun disposed between the first ground plane and the second ground plane, and at least a portion of the dipole portion of the antenna extended beyond the first ground plane and the second ground plane; and
a plurality of vias that form a reflector between the dipole portion and the balun.

16. A method of communication comprising:
-
receiving a signal at a balun of an antenna structure, the balun between two ground planes and coupled to a dipole portion of an antenna of the antenna structure, wherein at least a portion of the dipole portion of the antenna is extended beyond the two ground planes and beyond a grounded reflective via wall between the dipole portion and the balun; generating a phase adjusted signal at an output of the balun; and radiating the phase adjusted signal via the dipole portion of the antenna. - View Dependent Claims (17)

18. An apparatus comprising:
-
means for radiating a signal; means for generating a phase adjusted signal coupled to the means for radiating; first means for grounding the means for generating; second means for grounding the means for generating; and a plurality of means for reflecting coupled to the first means for grounding and to the second means for grounding, wherein the means for generating is disposed between the first means for grounding and the second means for grounding, and wherein at least a portion of the means for radiating is extended beyond the first means for grounding and the second means for grounding and beyond the plurality of means for reflecting. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
