An antenna device, such as composite right and left handed (CRLH) antenna device, is formed on the substrate, including a ground electrode formed on the substrate. In an example, the antenna device includes a cell patch comprising an enclosed conductive portion formed along an exterior edge of the cell patch, leaving an interior portion of the cell patch to partially expose the substrate. A feed structure is electromagnetically coupled to the cell patch, a via line is coupled to the ground electrode, and a via couples the via line to the cell patch.

Hollow cell CRLH antenna devices

A variety of configurations for a CRLH structured antenna in a wireless device are presented. An antenna having portions of the CRLH structure positioned on different layers provides an elevated structure. An antenna is presented having a double folded antenna structure, wherein a cell patch includes extensions on multiple layers of a substrate.

CRLH antenna structures

A capacitively loaded magnetic dipole antenna is provided with a portion that comprises a length that is longer than a straight line distance between a first end and a second end of the third portion such that antenna with a tower profile and/or smaller form factor is achieved.

Capacitively loaded dipole antenna optimized for size

A capacitively coupled dipole antenna is coupled to a substrate such that a capacitative portion of the antenna spans a void in the substrate.
