1. A wire-patch antenna comprising:
a ground plane;
a capacitive roof placed facing the ground plane at a predetermined distance of separation;
a probe feed;
at least one electrically conductive short-circuiting wire linking the capacitive roof and the ground plane, the short-circuiting wire being intended to excite a first resonant mode at a first resonant wavelength (λ1, λ′1);
at least one electrically conductive impedance-matching wire electrically connecting the conductive short-circuiting wire and the probe feed so as to create a parasitic inductor (Lpar);
the end of the probe feed being separated from the capacitive roof by a volume of dielectric so as to create a parasitic capacitive element (Cpar);
the parasitic capacitive element (Cpar) and the parasitic inductor (Lpar) forming a parallel LC circuit allowing a second resonant mode to be excited at a second resonant wavelength (λ2) shorter than the first resonant wavelength (λ1, λ′1).
