Abstract
The present invention includes a substrate; a central monopole element configured to radiate electromagnetic energy, the central monopole element disposed within a central monopole element through-hole of the substrate and extending from the first to the second surface of the substrate, the central monopole element formed by plating the central monopole element through-hole; a plurality of parasitic elements surrounding the central monopole element, each of the parasitic elements disposed within a parasitic element through-hole of the substrate and extending from the first to the second surface of the substrate, each of the plurality of parasitic elements formed by plating a parasitic element through-hole; a ground plane disposed on the second surface of the substrate; and a plurality of load circuits, each load circuit being connected to a parasitic element of the plurality of parasitic elements, each load circuit further being connected to the ground plane.
