Wideband shorted backfire antenna with L-probe fed microstrip patch

In this contribution a novel configuration of high-directivity broadband antenna is presented. Its main operational principle is based on the so-called “short backfire” (SBF) concept, however, instead of conventional dipole, rectangular microstrip patch is used as feeder.
