Abstract :
This paper studies the radiation performance of the complementary half-wavelength slot and electric dipole combination with discrete port excitation. With the modified slot ground plane, unidirectional radiation has been achieved. The entire antenna structure can be implemented with a low-profile single-layer PCB board.
