Abstract
An E-plane aperture coupled microstrip patch array antenna is presente d which incorporates novel microstrip reflector elements in its design , These elements provide a significant reduction in back radiation lev els over a bandwidth in excess of 20%. Design considerations for the a rray elements are given and radiation patterns for the microstrip elem ents and the total array are presented.
