Abstract

A wideband antenna element includes a conductive plate parallel to, and spaced from a ground plane. A tapered dielectric material is positioned between the plate and ground plane. A pair of driving points to the plate are positioned fixed distances on either side of a center interconnect point between the plate and ground plane, to effect staggered tuning of the antenna element.
