Abstract :
Novel multilayer concepts for the formation of efficient micro-strip antennas on alumina substrates that allow simple antenna/circuit integration to be achieved are described. Experimental results show that, by using these techniques, bandwidth in excess of 16 times those of alumina microstrip antennas can be obtained, at the expense of an increase in the overall antenna height.
