Abstract:
This paper presents a cylindrical waveguide slot omnidirectional antenna. The antenna has a certain number of vertical slots cut in the surface of the cylindrical waveguide to form a slot array. The vertical slots are cut at equal length. The antenna has omnidirectional radiation characteristics in the E-plane, and “8” radiation characteristics approximately in H-plane. The test results show that the antenna has broadband characteristics and the amplitude changes in the E-plane under ripple ±1 dB in S-band. The antenna has been successfully applied to products and can be used as a communication and radar antenna, among other uses.
