A high gain stacked antenna based on a planar magneto-electric dipole structure is proposed. The main radiator is configured by a probe-fed patch with a symmetrically arranged pair of dipole radiation elements. Further, an additional air-gapped radiator with multiple patch elements is integrated for gain enhancement. Since both the main and stacked radiators are planar structures, the overall volume can remain low-profile regardless of the airgap. To verify the performance of the proposed structure, a single magneto-electric dipole antenna and three different types of stacked radiators were implemented at 5.8 GHz. The magneto-electric dipole antenna showed measured 10-dB impedance bandwidth and gain of 5.2% and 8.0 dBi, respectively with the overall size of 0.96 &#x03BB;0 &#x00D7; 0.96 &#x03BB;0 including a ground plane. With the additional stacked radiator having the airgap of 0.1 &#x03BB;0, the maximum measured gain was increased to 9.6 dBi. Further, to verify the beamforming performances, three types of 1&#x00D7;8 phased array stacked structures were fabricated with a volume of 0.96 &#x03BB;0 &#x00D7; 6.38 &#x03BB;0 &#x00D7; 0.14 &#x03BB;0 at 5.8 GHz. The measurements showed a maximum peak gain of 18.1 dBi and a half-power-beamwidth scan angle of 49&#x00B0; with a side-lobe level less than -8 dB.
