Design and investigations of a microstrip fed open V-shape slot antenna for wideband dual slant polarization

Abstract A dual slant polarized slot antenna is proposed. The antenna is printed on the two sides of a single substrate and has two microstrip feed lines to excite a V-shaped slot formed by the merging of two tilted rectangular step shaped slots. Stepping of the slot sections as well as the feed line improves the impedance matching. A narrow rectangular metallic stub is introduced at the junction of the slot arms to improve the decoupling between the ports. The antenna polarization is +450/−450 with respect to horizontal under alternate excitation and this dual slant polarized nature is demonstrated through aperture electric field plots and far field radiation patterns. The measured return loss bandwidth (S11
