Abstract
An antenna includes a first dielectric layer and a second dielectric layer. The first dielectric layer has a first ground plane formed thereon. A stripline conductor is formed on a first side of the second dielectric layer. The second dielectric layer is positioned such that the stripline conductor is positioned between the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer. A second ground plane is formed on a second side of the second dielectric layer. The second ground plane has a slot formed therein; the slot aligned with the stripline conductor such that signals propagating along the stripline conductor couple to the slot. The antenna further includes a patch radiating element disposed above the slot such that signals that couple to the slot subsequently couple to the patch radiating element and are radiated outward.
