Abstract :
High frequency systems and techniques are becoming more and more common among the scientific community, like medical and diagnosis applications, military devices, and civil communications. These systems use to rely on slot-array antennas due to their properties of low loss and high gain. Even though this document continues a study specially focused on compound slot antennas, it shows arrays of different kinds of slots designed by means of the equivalent circuit representation explained in [1] and [2], following the procedure shown in presented on [3]. Despite the absence in the literature of a serially fed array of a large number of compound slots a fifteen-element design is proposed in this paper. Designed array performance match up with CST simulations.
