Abstract

This paper presents an investigation to improve the poor return loss performance of linearly polarised radial line slot array (RLSA) antenna. The problem was tackled by applying the beam squinting technique. The antenna consists of radiating surface with a circular cavity and supports outward-travelling electromagnetic waves. The antenna is excited via a rear mounted modified disk-ended dielectric coated SMA connector. The simulation results show that the return loss performance has improved significantly over the entire frequency band with a return loss bandwidth of 52.5%. The far-field result indicates that the antenna has achieved a peak directivity of 24.7 dBi at 17 GHz with a beam squinted angle of 18° and a side lobe level of -10 dB.
