Abstract
An antenna comprises a reference plane 204, a conductive polygonal lamina 202 disposed opposing the reference plane, and a feed section 206 coupled to the reference plane and the lamina. The feed section 206 is arranged as a transmission line. The feed section may comprise at least two planar conductors 208 arrange parallel to each other, one of the planar conductors 208b being connected to the feed and the other of the conductors 208a being connected to the reference. The feed section may be in the form of a coplanar strip.
