Abstract
A preferred embodiment of an antenna for radiating and collecting electromagnetic radiation includes a substantially planar conductive member having a first side and a second side. A strip conductor is positioned to the first side of the conductive member and substantially parallel thereto. A dielectric material is sandwiched between the strip conductor and the conductive member. A length of wire for radiating and collecting microwave electromagnetic radiation has a first end and a second end and lies substantially in a plane which is positioned to the second side of the conductive member and substantially parallel thereto. The length of wire is spaced apart a distance from the conductive member. A feed probe wire couples the first end of the length of wire to the strip conductor. The feed probe wire extends through the conductive member and through the dielectric material. A shorting wire couples the second end of the length of wire to the conductive member.
