Slot Antenna

Slot antennas are radiators made by cutting a slot in a conducting sheet of metal or waveguide. They have similar characteristics to dipole antennas if the metal sheet is large compared to the wavelength. Slot antennas are widely used in aircraft where they can be integrated into the metallic skin. Horn antennas produce a nearly uniform phase front larger than the waveguide itself and come in various shapes like sectoral, pyramidal, conical. They are commonly used as feeds for large dishes and in phased arrays.

Slot antenna

Slot antenna

– A slot antenna is a radiator made by


cutting a one-half wavelength slot in a
conducting sheet of metal or into the
side or top of a waveguide.
Slot antenna
– The slot antenna has the same
characteristics as a standard dipole antenna,
as long as the metal sheet is very large
compared to λ at the operating frequency.

– Slot antennas are widely used on high-speed


aircraft where the antenna can be integrated
into the metallic skin of the aircraft.

Horn Antennas

 flared waveguides that produce a nearly


uniform phase front larger than the
waveguide itself

 constructed in a variety of shapes such as


sectoral E-plane, sectoral H-plane, pyramidal,
conical, etc.
