Abstract :
A novel shorted patch configuration is presented that significantly reduces the cross-polarised fields generated. The cross-polarised fields have been measured at more than 20 dB below the co-polar levels. The new balanced shorted patch is approximately a quarter-wavelength in size and has a bandwidth comparable to a conventional microstrip patch antenna
