In this paper, the authors present a highly efficient, broadband patch based antenna that is compatible with integrating into Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits. The antenna configuration is a proximity coupled stacked patch structure where the layer between the Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit and the first patch is an inexpensive laminate. The impact of this layer on the performance of the antenna is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
