Abstract
An improved low-profile antenna has a radiating element disposed apart from a ground plane, with at least one microstrip disposed between the radiating element and the ground plane. A feed is electrically coupled to the radiating element and to the at least one microstrip. The at least one microstrip is also electrically coupled to the ground plane, completing a closed path. When driven by an electrical signal, the antenna more efficiently generates electromagnetic signals in the horizontal direction and also has decreased sensitivity to foreign objects.
