✦ Synopsis

are somewhat reduced. For cases where thin substrates are used, these errors will be more pronounced.

III. CONCLUSIONS

A novel shorted patch configuration has been designed, constructed, and tested. The new technique has greater bandwidth and is easier to manufacture than the traditional shorted patch. It has been shown that the proposed shorted patch is less sensitive to fabrication errors.
