Abstract
Each antenna element within the array is oriented substantially coplanar with respect to the other antenna elements. The array overlies a primary dielectric substrate. A ground plane layer is spaced apart from the array of antenna elements by a first dielectric spacer. A beam-forming layer is spaced apart from the array of antenna elements by a second dielectric spacer. The beam-forming layer has a set of electrically conductive beam-forming antenna elements overlying a secondary dielectric substrate. A combining network is configured for combining the received electromagnetic signal components from the array, wherein the combining network cooperates to yield or receive a radiation pattern that is generally circularly polarized at the target wavelength range.
