✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Some specific situations for digital TV reception need vertically polarized transmission, and so, vertically polarized antennas. This letter presents a new open‐hexagon suspended tilted patch antenna. This element provides medium gain and directivity in a compact format and small size. The proposed antenna is an open‐hexagonal patch, tilted 45° relative to the ground plane. The radiation pattern is end fire, and the polarization is orthogonal to the ground plane. This design has been analyzed, built, and measured, showing good performance for the intended use. © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 32: 56–60, 2002.
