Abstract
The present invention provides a microstrip antenna that includes a microstrip element with an integral member which is used to establish an electrical connection between the microstrip element and a transmission line. The use of the integral member to establish this electrical connection yields advantages in performance, reliability, and manufacturing, among others, that make the microstrip antenna particularly suitable for mobile applications. The present invention also provides a method of manufacturing such a microstrip antenna.
