PATCH ANTENNA
A microstrip or patch antenna is a low-profile antenna that has a number of advantages over other antennas -- it is lightweight, inexpensive, and easy to integrate with accompanying electronics. While the antenna can be 3-D in structure (wrapped around an object, for example), the elements are usually flat; hence their other name, planar antennas. Note that a planar antenna is not always a patch antenna.
