Abstract
An antenna includes one or more conductive elements for acting as radiating antenna elements, and a slow wave meander line adapted to couple electrical signals between the conductive elements, wherein the meander line has an effective electrical length which affects the electrical length and operating characteristics of the antenna. The electrical length and operating mode of the antenna may be readily controlled.
