  • Abstract
    In a slot-coupled microstrip antenna with a triplate line feed, the parallel-plate mode is excited by the slot, resulting in a decrease of radiation efficiency. The authors present a technique for suppressing the parallel-plate mode in this type of the antenna. Measured results confirm the effective performance of the proposed method
