Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve problems of a conventional patch antenna by providing a nonconductive frame supporting a resonator. SOLUTION: The nonconductive frame 124 supports the resonator 116 of a patch antenna assembly 100. Since the frame 124 supports the resonator 116 without the need for making holes to the resonator 116, a problem of generating an undesired wave with polarized electric field can be avoided. Moreover, the frame 124 grips the resonator 116 at an are with a low current density thereby preventing further disturbance from being caused to a radiation pattern. The frame 124 may be provided with posts 128 used to be mounted onto a supply board 130 without the use of additional components such as screws.
