Abstract
A double resonant wideband patch antenna (100) includes a planar resonator (101) forms a substantially trapezoidal shape having a non-parallel edge (103) for providing a substantially wide bandwidth. A feed line (107) extends parallel to the non-parallel edge (103) for coupling while a ground plane (111) extends beneath the planar resonator for increasing radiation efficiency.
