Abstract

An antenna of the type comprising a first electrically conductive surface (12), a second electrically conductive surface (14) forming a ground plane parallel to the first electrically conductive surface, and a first electrically conductive feed wire or strip (16) is provided. The first electrically conductive feed wire or strip (16) links a first terminal of a generator/receiver (20) to the first electrically conductive surface (12). A second electrically conductive feed wire or strip (17) links a second terminal of a generator/receiver (20) to the second electrically conductive surface (14). At least one electrically conductive wire or strip (18, 19) links the first electrically conductive surface (12) and the second electrically conductive surface (14). The first electrically conductive surface, the second electrically conductive surface, and the at least one electrically conductive wire or strip (18, 19) linking the first and second electrically conductive surfaces (12, 14) are all coplanar.
