摘要
A radial line slot antenna (RLSA) is a high gain and high efficiency planar antenna. Circularly polarized RLSA (CP-RLSA) has realized the highest antenna efficiency of 85% for 60 cm-phi DBS antenna. A linearly polarized RLSA (LP-RLSA) is also attractive for applications of various subscriber radio systems. However, the slot arrangement for linear polarization gives rise to serious reflection from slots, which disturbs the normal antenna operation. A new slot design of LP-RLSA is presented where reflection cancelling slots are added to the conventional ones; four slots form one slot set as a unit radiator of linear polarization. The experiments confirm the design: the antenna return-loss is improved from -2 to -10 dB. The antenna efficiency of 48 and 54% are measured for 400 and 600 mm-phi antennas, respectively. This is the first report of the normal operation of LP-RLSA's.
