A new low‐cost dual‐polarized microstrip antenna array with a single layer is proposed. Its element is the parallel corner‐fed square patch with two ports. The design, analysis, and experimental results of a 12 GHz 16‐element array on a 0.8 mm thick substrate are presented. Its measured isolation is 26.5 dB at 12 GHz and higher than 20 dB over 710 MHz. The 2:1 VSWR bandwidth is wider than 840 MHz (7%). The theoretical results agree well with the experimental results. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 24: 176–179, 2000.
