Abstract
The disclosure is an antenna device, comprising a substrate layer and a patch antenna assembly on the substrate layer, configured to contain at least one patch antenna element. Each patch antenna element has a feed insertion cutout and a base cutout, where a feed line extending from a feed point on the substrate layer couples to the antenna element in the feed insertion cutout. Each patch antenna element corresponds to a respective parasitic patch element, positioned above the patch antenna element, and a respective capacitive loading element, positioned on the feed line and proximate to the patch antenna element, to improve the performance of the antenna device. Each parasitic pat antenna is larger than its respective patch antenna element. The antenna device may also include a mounting structure to position each parasitic patch element over each patch antenna element.
