## Abstract This paper describes a new low‐profile X antenna array separated 0.1–0.15 wavelengths from a flat or rimmed square reflector of 0.6 wavelengths in size. The array consists of two closely spaced elements: an active two‐port folded‐wire X antenna, which radiates two cross‐polarized fields

Abstract
Folded‐wire X antenna with two feed ports is introduced, which can operate like a half‐wave dipole, or array of two crossed dipoles depending on whether one or two ports are fed. The low‐profile location of 1.8‐GHz X antenna in front of flat plate makes a compact reflector antenna with a good input match in about 5% frequency band, gain of 8.5–9.0 dBi, and big inter‐port and cross‐polar isolations. The applications may include earth and satellite communication systems with polarization diversity action. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract In this article, the measurement results of the dielectric resonator antenna with high‐permittivity have been presented. With this technique, a 5.4% bandwidth (return loss < −10 dB) of center frequency at about 3.5 GHz for application in WiMAX has successfully been achieved. The copolar
## Abstract A broadband circularly polarized patch antenna is presented in X band. The antenna operates simultaneously with left/right or right/left hand circular polarization in both reception (7.25–7.9 GHz) and transmission bands (7.9–8.4 GHz). A double coaxial probe feed has been implemented, as
