Abstract :
This paper presents the design and simulation of a stacked patch antenna with a proximity coupled feed realized via a flip-chip bonding process. The antenna uses high and low dielectric constant materials and is compatible to Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits. The antenna achieves a bandwidth of 23.8% (VSWR < 2) centered at frequency of 13 GHz and has a gain of 5.3 dBi.
