ABSTRACT:
A patch antenna element includes a parasitic patch which is positioned on a top surface of a substrate. Located beneath the parasitic patch is a driven patch. The driven patch is coupled either directly or capacitively to the center conductor of a coaxial cable and hence provides a signal which signal is coupled to the parasitic patch. The parasitic patch, as well as the driven patch is surrounded by a metal wall cavity. The metal wall cavity increases mutual coupling between antenna patch elements of similar types. Disposed between the parasitic patch and the driven patch are septa elements. The septa elements are oriented parallel to the edges of the patch and are DC connected to the cavity metal sidewalls. The septa operate to reduce total cavity thickness and patch to patch mutual coupling while further allowing control of the bandwidth.
