Summary:
An aperture-coupled microstrip antenna with a dielectric patch is proposed. The performance of this new low-profile antenna is similar to the conventional metallic patch antenna. A prototype operated at around 3.98GHz was fabricated and tested. The antenna exhibits a symmetric radiation pattern, an impedance bandwidth of 1% and a gain of 5dBi. This new antenna has good radiation efficiency which is attractive for millimetre wave applications.
