Análisis, diseño y realización de antenas planas ranuradas multisatélite

A review of designs of linearly polarized parallel-plate slot antennas developed by the authors is presented. Different combinations are described: broadside beam, one and dual tilted-beam, one and dual polarized antennas. The antenna structure, the analysis methods and the feasibility of getting a dual beam and dual linearly polarized antenna with interesting characteristics and low cost are analyzed. Several designs are proposed and their features are studied. As a conclusion, it can be said that parallel- plate slot arrays are quite promising.
