Abstract

A microstrip patch antenna array incorporating a plurality of spaced-apart patch radiating elements electromagnetically coupled to a microstrip line conductively coupled to a source of signals. Both the spaced-apart patch radiating elements and the microstrip line are located on the same side of an adjacent conductive substrate. The microstrip patch radiating elements are arranged in a linear co-planar array electromagnetically excited by the field created by the air substrated microstrip line passing adjacent thereto.
