A novel cavity-backed probe-fed linearly polarized microstrip antenna based on the concept of hybrid radiators is proposed and\nimplemented. The resulting flush-mounted antenna exhibits symmetrical bandwidth, low cross-polarization radiation in the Hplane,\ndue to its hybrid patch, and low cost, since it can be built on a FR4 laminate. Substrate integrated waveguide technology is\nused in the fabrication of the metallic cavity.The effect of mutual coupling is analyzed for two classical arrangements: the side-byside\nand the collinear configurations.
