  • Abstract
    A broadband microstrip patch antenna well suited for monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) is presented. The antenna exhibits a measured bandwidth of 35%, low surface wave loss, a high front-to-back ratio, and is fabricated directly on the MMIC substrate material. The predicted and measured input impedances are given along with the measured radiation performance
