Abstract :
Electrically thick (and hence wideband) microstrip patch antenna elements are difficult to excite without adversely affecting their performance. A novel feeding technique is presented which circumvents the difficulties. A simple design theory is presented and a practical example is described which operates between 11 and 12 GHz.
