Abstract
A method of fabricating an array of radiating elements includes on one layer or surface of a dielectric substrate, forming a first leg of a first resonator loop, on another layer or surface of the dielectric substrate forming a second leg of the first resonator loop between adjacent radiating elements, forming a via through the dielectric substrate, and metallizing the via forming a third leg of the first resonator loop interconnecting the first and second legs.

A method of fabricating an array of radiating elements, the method comprising:
- on one layer or surface of a dielectric substrate, forming a first leg of a first resonator loop;
- on another layer or surface of the dielectric substrate forming a second leg of the first resonator loop between adjacent radiating elements;
- forming a via through the dielectric substrate;
- and
- metallizing the via forming a third leg of the first resonator loop interconnecting the first and second legs,
- fabricating a second resonator loop by:
- forming a first leg adjacent the first leg of the first resonator loop,
- forming a second leg adjacent the second leg of the first resonator loop, and
- forming a third leg extending through the dielectric substrate interconnecting the first and second legs of the second resonator loop.
