Abstract
Methods and systems for radiating electromagnetic energy with a patch antenna structure are described. A device may include a radio frequency (RF) feed and an antenna structure coupled to the RF feed. The antenna structure may include a ground plane, first and second conductors, and first and second impedance matching components. The first conductor may include an inner surface defining and at least partially surrounding a slot. The first and second impedance matching components may be coupled between the RF feed and the ground plane.
