ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a microstrip patch antenna (1) for mobile satellite communications comprising a first electrically conducting ground plane (4) having at least one opening (7), at least one patch radiating element (2), at least one first dielectric layer (L2) disposed between the first electrically conducting ground plane and the patch radiating element and more particularly between the at least one opening and the patch radiating element, at least one feed line (6) for providing signal energy in a contactless manner to or from the patch radiating element through the opening and a second dielectric layer (L3) disposed between the feed line and the first electrically conducting ground plane wherein the antenna further comprises a second ground plane (8) and a third dielectric layer (L4) disposed between the second ground plane and the feed line.
