A compact antenna design is provide with a carrier arm having a first end and a second end; a resonating arm, connected at the second end of the carrier arm and extending perpendicularly from the carrier arm in a first direction; a capacitive tuning arm, having a third end and a fourth end, connected at the third end to a portion of the carrier arm between to the first end and the second end, and extending perpendicularly from the carrier arm in the first direction; and a shorting arm, connected at the fourth end of the capacitive tuning arm and extending perpendicularly from the capacitive tuning arm in a second direction, away from the resonating arm.
