Abstract
In one embodiment, an apparatus is formed using a quarter wave (QW) patch element with a U-Slot, a ground plane, and a slotted shorting wall. A feed line runs through the ground plane and connects to the QW patch element. The slotted shorting wall connects the QW patch element to the ground plane. The QW patch element, slotted shorting wall, and ground plane are composed of a single contiguous folded material.

An apparatus comprising:
- a quarter-wave (QW) patch element with a U-Slot;
- a ground plane;
- a feed line through the ground plane and connected to the QW patch element;
- a slotted shorting wall connecting the QW patch element to the ground plane, wherein the slotted shorting wall comprises at least three conductive portions and at least two non-conductive slots with one conductive portion connected to a center of a side of the QW patch element, and the other conductive portions connected to corners of the same side of the QW patch element;
- and
- wherein the QW patch element, the slotted shorting wall, and the ground plane are composed of a single contiguous folded material.
