Abstract
Antenna structures and methods of operating the same are described. One antenna structure includes a ground plane, a feed point, an antenna element, and a parasitic element. The feed point can be coupled to the antenna element and can receive a signal to cause the antenna structure to radiate electromagnetic energy. The antenna element includes: a first portion that extends in a first direction from the feeding point at the RF feed; a second portion that extends from a distal end of the first portion; a third portion that extends from a side of the second portion; a fourth portion that extends from the third portion; and a fifth portion that extends from the fourth portion. The parasitic element includes: a sixth portion that extends from the fourth portion; and the seventh portion that extends from the sixth portion to the ground plane.
