Abstract
A three-broadside-mode patch antenna includes: a rotationally symmetric radiator; a patch, wherein the patch is separated from the rotationally symmetric radiator by a dielectric and configured to capacitively feed the rotationally symmetric radiator; and three antenna probes, connected to the patch, configured to provide three antenna ports corresponding to three respective broadside radiation polarizations.
