Abstract: An antenna has at least one slotted planar element. The slot in the planar element is open at one end and configured such that the planar element has a quarter wave resonance mode at a first frequency and there is a second resonant frequency at which the element has a ¾ wave resonance mode and/or the element's slot has a quarter wave resonance mode. The second frequency is not substantially three time the first frequency. Multiple slotted elements may be employed to achieve increased bandwidth.
