Abstract: A patch type radiation electrode is formed in the central area of the upper face of a dielectric substrate. First and second microstrip type radiation electrodes are formed on respective right and left sides of the patch type radiation electrode so as to sandwich the patch type radiation electrode. The first and second microstrip type radiation electrodes are symmetrical with respect to the patch type radiation electrode. If a microstrip type radiation electrode is formed on either one of the right and left sides of the patch type radiation electrode, the directivity of radio waves of the patch type radiation electrode become unsymmetrical, due to effects of the microstrip type radiation electrode. On the other hand, the directivity of radio waves of the patch type radiation electrode can be made symmetrical by forming the microstrip type radiation electrodes on both of the right and left sides of the patch type radiation electrode.

The dielectric rod is divided along its length into at least two sections including a hollow tubular dielectric sleeve and a dielectric internal rod telescopically received and secured in the hollow of the dielectric sleeve.

The end of the dielectric internal rod adjacent to the dielectric sleeve is tapered so as to converge towards the end extremity.
