Abstract :
A printed antenna structure suitable for integration with optoelectronic devices in the base station of fiber-radio networks is presented. The stacked patch antenna utilizes the semiconductor material and a low dielectric constant laminate to yield a broad bandwidth and high surface wave efficiency. Experimental verification of the printed antenna is given
