  • Abstract
    A novel integrated antenna with low loss and medium gain is designed. It is composed of a driven oversize slotted patch, backed by a metallic ground plane. Its radiation occurs from the slots and some of its edges. By a suitable optimisation, an excellent field distribution over the antenna aperture is obtained, that provides high gain and low crosspolarisation at far field
