Abstract
An antenna structure for solid-state fabrication includes a ground plane comprising a stack of a plurality of planar conductors, each having its broad surfaces adjacent to, but insulated from, adjacent planar conductors. At least one edge of each conductor of the stack is registered with like edges of other conductors to define a discontinuous surface. A radiating element is spaced from the surface. Through vias extend between the conductors of the stack to form a conductive matrix. A feed for the radiating element extends toward, but does not contact, the matrix.
