Abstract
Abstract A meander line phased array antenna element is disclosed. The phased array antenna element has a dielectric plate, a transceiver medium component formed on the dielectric plate by a printed-circuit method and a microstrip line having a strip line for electrical connection with the transceiver medium component and a ground formed on the back of the dielectric plate. Since the phased array antenna element is planar, it can be mounted on any surface, such that the quality of the transmitted and/or received signal is able to be enhanced without any influence on the size of the product using this technique.
