Abstract :
A dual-polarised aperture-coupled microstrip stacked patch antenna with stacked feed lines is presented. The antenna is capable of operating over a bandwidth of 30% with improved front-to-back ratio performance. The patches are excited through non-resonating crossed slots. The feed lines are separated by a thin substrate to enhance the port decoupling. The measured impedance and radiation pattern of the antenna at C-band are presented.
