Merge this page with Microstrip antenna?[edit]

I found the terms 'patch antenna', 'microstrip antenna' and 'microstrip patch antenna' used interchangeably in literatures. So I agree with merging.

In my opinion this article should come under WikiProject Telecommunications

Minor error in gain pattern chart[edit]

The gain pattern chart shows that the units are dBi, but this is incorrect. They are just dB, as the fact that the diagram is referenced to 0 clearly indicates that it is a relative antenna gain pattern (normalized to the max) that is being plot, not the gain relative to isotropic. Simply changing the dBi to dB and perhaps making note of the fact that this is the gain relative to the antenna maximum, not relative to isotropic, would fix this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Birge (talk • contribs) 17:38, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
