Abstract
A microstrip antenna includes at least one dielectric material forming a dielectric layer structure having a first main side, at least one antenna structure formed on the first main side; and a ground plane. The dielectric layer structure is positioned between said antenna structure and the ground plane (19, 43). Each of said at least one antenna structure comprises a microstrip conductor that in turn comprises a slot structure. For each of said at least one antenna structure, the microstrip conductor and the slot structure mainly extend in the direction of a longitudinal extension.
Claims5
A microstrip antenna comprising:
- at least one dielectric material forming a dielectric layer structure having a first main side;
- at least one antenna structure formed on the first main side;
- a ground plane;
- where the dielectric layer structure is positioned between the antenna structure and the ground plane;
- wherein each of the at least one antenna structure comprises a microstrip conductor that comprises a slot structure;
- and
- wherein for each of the at least one antenna structure, the microstrip conductor and the slot structure mainly extend in the direction of a longitudinal extension wherein the slot structure divides the microstrip conductor in a first conductor part and a second conductor part that extend parallel to each other, where the slot structure defines a plurality of slot parts, each of the slot parts defining a first width and a second width, the second width having a greater dimension than the first width, the first and second widths of each of the slot parts being substantially equal in dimension, the slot parts further defining a slot height measured along the longitudinal extension, a first set of one or more of the slot parts defining a first slot height, and a second set of one or more of the slot parts defining a second slot height, the first and second slot heights differing from one another.
