Abstract
An antenna (100) has a multi-mode resonating structure (110) that includes three electromagnetically coupled resonators (112, 114, 116) carried by a dielectric substrate (120). A feed system (130, 135), electromagnetically coupled to the multi-mode resonating structure (110), excites three resonating modes that operate together to produce a pass-band. Preferably, the multi-mode resonating structure (110) is formed from a wide patch radiator (112) planarly disposed between two narrow patch radiators (114, 116). The patch radiators (112, 114, 116) are simultaneously fed.
