Abstract
A patch antenna element has a plurality of patches that are coplanar, each having a length along a resonant dimension that is no greater than one-quarter of a wavelength of a maximum operating frequency of the patch antenna element. The antenna element also includes one or more discrete reactive elements. For each pair of neighboring patches of the plurality of patches, the pair forms an electrically insulating space therebetween. At least one discrete reactive element lies within the electrically insulating space and is electrically connected to both of the neighboring patches of the pair. A patch antenna combines the patch antenna element with a counterpoise that is parallel to, and displaced from, the patch antenna element. Each discrete reactive element may be an inductor or capacitor, either planar or non-planar. The patch antenna may be configured as a dual-polarization patch antenna or quarter-wave patch antenna.
