This study introduces a novel design approach to reduce the cross-polarized (XP) radiation from a microstrip patch over the orthogonal plane. A vertical loading is positioned at the center of the patch to attenuate the fields originating due to TM 02 mode. In contrast to earlier reported works, this...
