Abstract
An exemplary apparatus providing an antenna for radiating electromagnetic energy is disclosed as having: a first dielectric substrate having opposite first and second surfaces, a patch of conducting material disposed on the first surface, a ground plane of conducting material disposed of the second surface, at least three input means coupled to a plurality of microstrip feed lines wherein the microstrip feed lines have an aspect ratio suitably configured to maximize antenna bandwidth. Disclosed features and specifications may be variously controlled, adapted or otherwise optionally modified to improve and/or modify the performance characteristics of the antenna. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention generally provide an antenna for providing wideband power combining and wideband radiation functions.
