Each multi-level electrode is positioned adjacent to a wall of the cavity, and each multi-level electrode includes a base portion coupled to an elevated portion. A radiating surface of the elevated portion is at a height of at least 0.5 centimeters (cm) from a radiating surface of the base portion.
