Microstrip resonator is improvement over dipole-fed waveguide-fed backfire designs. Advantages include simpler construction with reduction in weight and size over other backfire designs. Microstrip backfire concept has potential in dual-polarization antenna systems, array-thinning designs, and feed designs for larger parabolic reflectors.
