Abstract
According to various aspects, exemplary embodiments are disclosed herein of patch antennas, stacked patch antenna assemblies, and vehicular antenna assemblies including the same. In exemplary embodiments, a patch antenna generally includes a dielectric substrate having a bottom, a top, and sides extending generally between the top and bottom of the dielectric substrate. A ground is along the bottom of the dielectric substrate. An antenna structure is along the top of the dielectric substrate. The antenna structure also extends at least partially along one or more sides of the dielectric substrate.
