Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide a microstrip-coupled dipole antenna. A microstrip of the antenna may be formed in a plane and coupled to a transmission line such that the microstrip is operable to transfer electromagnetic energy fed to it by the transmission line to a dipole structure that, in turn, radiates a broadband electromagnetic signal.
