Abstract :
A dual-corner-fed square patch is proposed to realize the dual-polarization operation. Its analysis results are compared with those of a dual-edge-fed patch. A new single-layer hybrid array of these elements has been designed, fabricated and measured, which is compact and low-cost. The measured isolation between two feeds is -23 dB at 12 GHz while its further improvement is expected
