A printed antenna realised on an indium phosphide wafer is presented. The antenna provides an efficient, broadband antenna solution for MMIC/OEIC systems and subsystems. The antenna is based on an aperture coupled patch architecture with the substrates layers in a hi-lo configuration. Measured results exhibit an impedance bandwidth of around 12% for VSWR<2, and a gain of 8 dBi.
