PCT No. PCT/EP94/03232 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 28, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 28, 1996 PCT Filed Sep. 27, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO95/09455 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 6, 1995A multipatch antenna including radiating patches (2) positioned on a dielectric sheet (1). The patches (2) are capacitively fed by probes (7) ending in the dielectric sheet (1) near the patches (2). By positioning the probes (7) near selected edges of the radiating patches (2), a selected polarization direction of the radiation field can be realized. By positioning several probes (7) near a radiating patch (2), a radiation field with an adjustable polarization direction or a radiation field with an extremely low cross-polarization can be obtained.
