註釋The combination of microstrip and dielectric structures has been found to offer possibilities for improvements upon purely microstrip planar antennas which are limited particularly at millimetre wavelengths by dissipative losses and by radiation from complex feed networks. All the structures considered retain microstrip radiating elements and in the first case a dielectric feed line was used in a travelling-wave array which enabled feeder losses to be reduced. However field compatibility problems with all-dielectric feeder networks caused excessive radiation losses. The same compatibility problems with conventional rectangular waveguide prevent the full potential of this array from being realized but is still preferable to all-dielectric feeder networks. The retention of microstrip feed networks allows much improved integration possibilities and this was realized by combining a microstrip patch with an overlaid dielectric sphere. When combined in the form of parallel connected arrays with a sparse feed network the result is much lower levels of corrupting radiation than have previously been achieved and the provision of space within the aperture for electronic components such as phase shifters.
