Electromagnetic coupling between coplanar waveguides (CPW) and microstrip patch antennas has been investigated for two feed configurations: (1) direct aperture‐coupled feeding of a patch antenna by a CPW feed, and (2) proximity‐coupled feeding of a patch antenna by a microstrip line which is aperture coupled to a CPW feed. Results indicate that both feeding approaches are feasible and yield high coupling efficiency.
