I think this paper is a good explanation:

| The C is used to tune out the L of the feed. In some cases the length of the feed (e.g. from the centre pin of an SMA connector, via a length of stiff wire to the centre of an air-spaced patch) means ... |

| This is long-winded and I am not sure it helps as much as I had intended. Some of this is based on conversations with Ed Joy, Professor emeritus at Georgia Tech, when I wanted to understand more abou ... |

How about
(1) a patch array with an intentional squint i.e.. boresight is not perpendicular to the plane of the array but looks to the left or right in azimuth, or up /dow in elevaation, by e.g. 30 ... |

I agree with the previous response: no, the insulator won't matter.
Assuming your antenna is used at frequencies below (e.g.) 50MHz, we can show that the change in performance of the antenna is a ... |
