  • Abstract
    Owing to its low loss property at millimetre-wave frequencies, the nonradiating dielectric (NRD) waveguide is very attractive for use as a feed network in planar arrays. The design, fabrication and testing of a microstrip patch antenna fed by NRD guide at X-band is described. Radiation patterns are measured and presented.
