A simple feed network is introduced for a linear microstrip array antenna. The antenna structure consists of two layers. The radiating microstrip patches are placed on the top surface of the upper layer, while the bottom layer is used to feed the radiating elements through the slots on the conducting microstrip line between the upper and lower layers. The resultant array antenna is relatively simple, and the feed loss can be minimized. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 23: 25–27, 1999.
