ABSTRACT:
A monolithically loaded microstrip antenna is provided for a communications function, such as a cellular telephone base station. The antenna includes a ground plane and a group of stacked, planar elements. A director element having a rectangular configuration together with monolithic load tabs is connected to a feed line and spaced above the ground plane. A first director element is spaced above the driven element and has lesser length and width dimensions than the driven element. A second director element is spaced above the first director element and likewise has lesser length and width dimensions than the driven element. A group of eight of the antennas are positioned in a column to form an antenna array which has substantial vertical polarization, a relatively wide horizontal beam width, approximately 60.degree. and a relatively narrow vertical beam width, approximately 8.0.degree.. The antenna array has a center frequency of 885 Mhz and a bandwidth of approximately 230 Mhz.
