Abstract :
The design parameter of a circumferential slot antenna on the sectoral cylindrical cavity fed by the probe is presented in this paper. The antenna structure is simple and suitable to be the element of the cylindrical slot array antenna radiating either unidirectional or omnidirectional beam. The antenna design is based on the impedance optimization. The experimental results are underway.
