1. An antenna module, comprising:
an antenna configured to be attached to an outer surface of a wearable body, the antenna comprising:
a microwave dielectric substrate having first and second opposing major surfaces;
an electrically conductive patch disposed on the first major surface of the microwave dielectric substrate;
a feed line electrically coupled to a feed point of the electrically conductive patch;
an electrically conductive ground plane positioned on a far side of the second major surface relative to the first major surface of the microwave dielectric substrate; and
a container made of an electrically non-conductive material, wherein the container encloses the microwave dielectric substrate, the electrically conductive patch, and the electrically conductive ground plane such that the container electrically insulates the microwave dielectric substrate, the electrically conductive patch, and the electrically conductive ground plane from the wearable body when the antenna is attached to the outer surface of the wearable body.
