Aperture-coupled microstrip antenna with a perpendicular feed
Abstract
A new technique is described for feeding printed antennas. A microstrip antena on one substrate is coupled through an electrically small aperture to a microstrip feed line on a perpendicularly oriented substrate. No direct connection is made to the patch. Such a geometry allows two separate substrates to be used for the antenna and feed functions. Measurements of a prototype design are presented.
