Abstract
The present invention relates to a device for transmitting and/or receiving electromagnetic waves comprising at least one antenna with at least one radiating element transmitting and/or receiving signals of given polarization and a feed array produced in microstrip technology consisting of lines devised so as to give parasitic radiation. In this case, the feed array is devised and dimensioned in such a way that the parasitic radiation has the same direction and the same polarization as the radiation of the antenna and combines in-phase with the said radiation of the antenna.
