Abstract
An antenna radiator comprising a rectangular conductive cap disposed over a top of a dielectric, the cap having an extension over a side of the dielectric, apparatus for feeding energy to the radiator adjacent an end of the extension remote from the cap, and a ground plane spaced from and parallel to the cap, below the dielectric.

An antenna radiator comprising a rectangular conductive cap disposed over a top of a dielectric, the cap having an extension over a side of the dielectric, means for feeding energy to the radiator adjacent an end of the extension remote from the cap, a ground plane spaced from and parallel to the cap, below the dielectric, and a loading element extending from a side of the cap opposite said extension in the same plane as the cap, over the dielectric.
An antenna radiator comprising a rectangular conductive cap disposed over a top of a dielectric, the cap having an extension over a side of the dielectric, means for feeding energy to the radiator adjacent an end of the extension remote from the cap, a ground plane spaced from and parallel to the cap, below the dielectric, and a loading element extending from a side of the cap opposite said extension in a plane orthogonal to the plane of the cap, over a side of the dielectric.
An antenna radiator comprising a rectangular conductive cap disposed over a top of a dielectric, the cap having an extension over a side of the dielectric, means for feeding energy to the radiator adjacent an end of the extension remote from the cap, a ground plane spaced from and parallel to the cap, below the dielectric, and a pair of extensions from adjacent sides of the cap over adjacent sides of the dielectric, loading elements extending from the cap at sides opposite said extensions, and means for feeding energy to respective ends of said extensions.
