Abstract: A wireless device can include an antenna element, a printed circuit board, an antenna feed, a conductive surface, and a conductive connector. The printed circuit board can have a ground plane. The antenna feed can be connected, at a first point, to the antenna element and to the ground plane. The conductive surface can be disposed substantially parallel to the ground plane. The conductive connector can be connected, at a second point, to the ground plane and to the conductive surface. A distance between the first point and the second point can be substantially equal to one quarter of a wavelength of an electromagnetic wave to be exploited by the wireless device. At all other points, the ground plane and the conductive surface can lack a conductive connection between the ground plane and the conductive surface.
