Abstract
A broad band communications antenna includes a baseplate which has a conductive layer that includes at least one coupler opening. A stripline network is provided adjacent the conductive layer in the region of the coupler openings. At least one conductive patch is arranged opposite the baseplate. The baseplate and the patch are arranged in a conductive housing which is provided with an open side. The baseplate is arranged adjacent the bottom of the housing and therefore farthest from the open side. One or more lugs are provided on the open side of the housing for reducing the open cross-sectional surface of the housing when the open side is seen from above.
