Slot-wedge antenna

Slot-wedge antenna

Abstract

The impedance of an open slot antenna at its second resonance has a wider bandwidth than at the ubiquitous first resonance (half wavelength) configurations [1]-[4]. When the supporting groundplane size is small (less than a square wavelength), the wideband nature can be retained [4], but the pattern changes owing to the diffractions from the edges of the groundplane. In this paper, we introduce an open slot antenna in a finite groundplane that is bent along the slot axis – a slot-wedge configuration. It is centrally fed with a 50Ω coaxial cable. We demonstrate that the bending angle influences the pattern, while the impedance bandwidth remains essentially the same. There is an optimal angle for maximum directivity for a given groundplane size.
