The loop antenna portion may extend from a first end that is configured to be grounded to a second end that is configured to be driven by radio frequency circuitry. The excitation arm may be coupled at a first end to the loop antenna portion and extend outwardly therefrom to an open end. The parasitic element may extend from a first end is configured to be grounded to a second end that is open. The parasitic element may extend along opposite sides of the excitation arm portion so as to be coupled thereto.
