What is proximity coupling of a patch?

  • A.A method of coupling energy from a waveguide into a printed structure
  • B.A feed line buried between two dielectric layers under the patch
  • C.Two patches placed side by side so that one excites the other by coupling
  • D.A feed that touches the patch only at a single point near its centre

Answer: B

In proximity or electromagnetic coupling the microstrip line is sandwiched inside the dielectric stack and couples capacitively to the patch above it without touching. It gives wider bandwidth than a direct edge feed and avoids the probe inductance, but the multilayer construction is harder and alignment matters. Parasitic patch coupling and waveguide transitions are separate techniques. The family of feeding methods is best remembered by whether a galvanic connection is made and where the line sits.
