Classification: CPC H  Y | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A patch antenna comprising:
a cable comprising at least one conductor; and
an antenna body comprising:
a non-conductive sheet,
at least one conductive metallic feed pad disposed on the non-conductive sheet that is smaller than the non-conductive sheet, and
an antenna element formed of a conductive particle based material applied to the non-conductive sheet over at least a portion of the at least one conductive metallic feed pad and at least a portion of the non-conductive sheet that does not include the at least one conductive metallic feed pad,

wherein the conductive particle based material comprises conductive particles dispersed in a binder so that at least a majority of the conductive particles are adjacent to, but do not touch, one another,
wherein the binder is disposed between at least a part of the conductive particles that are adjacent to, but do not touch, one another,
wherein at least some of the conductive particles of the conductive particle based material that are adjacent to one another are at least one of capacitively or inductively coupled to one another, and
wherein the at least one conductor of the cable is electrically connected to the at least one conductive metallic feed pad.
