A method for producing a dual-polarized antenna includes providing first, second and third dielectric substrates with first and second main surfaces. The method includes patterning a conductive film on the first main surface of the first dielectric substrate to form a first ground conductor having an opening and a metal patch as a radiation element, the patch aligned to the opening in a lamination direction, patterning a conductive film on the first main surface of the second dielectric substrate to form a first feed probe configured to excite the metal patch, patterning a conductive film on the second main surface of the second dielectric substrate to form a second ground conductor having a slot generally parallel to the first feed probe, and patterning a conductive film on the second main surface of the third dielectric substrate to form a second feed probe generally perpendicular to the slot.
