Abstract

An antenna including a ground plane region, a feed element having associated with it a first reactance and a coupling element having associated with it a second reactance, the second reactance being of opposite sign to the first reactance, the coupling element being coupled to the feed element and to the ground plane region and being located in close proximity to the ground plane region, wherein an impedance and hence a resonant frequency of the antenna depend on the first and second reactances.
