A liner system for an article of footwear, system, and method includes a liner structure, a sensor, a housing, an electronic module, and a ground plane. The sensor is configured to determine a property of the foot of a wearer. The housing is seated at least in part in the liner structure. The electronic module is coupled to the sensor and positioned in the housing and includes an internal wireless transceiver configured to transmit information based on data received from the sensor concerning the property of the foot and an internal antenna, positioned within the housing and operatively coupled to the wireless transceiver, configured to wirelessly transmit the information from the wireless transceiver. The ground plane is operatively coupled to the internal antenna and projects outside of the housing, extending along the liner structure, and configured to extend an effective range of the internal antenna.
