1. A system comprising:
a first conductive plate;
a second conductive plate;
a plurality of vias that electrically connect the first conductive plate to the second conductive plate to form an antenna, wherein the antenna is designed to operate within a specified frequency range, and wherein at least one of the vias is formed with a specified diameter that tunes the antenna for operation within the specific frequency range; and
an antenna feed electrically connected to at least one of the vias.
