Abstract
The broadband designs of half-wavelength slot array and quarter-wavelength slot array are proposed in this thesis. The slot elements are offset-fed by microstrip line to obtain the wider impedance bandwidth. Furthermore, the impedance bandwidth of the array antennas which composed of the slot elements can be wider. It can be kept stable that the radiation gain and the radiation pattern of the proposed half-wavelength slot array in the impedance band. Besides, it is formed a quasi-open circuit of the slotline by the truncated ground plane. The size of the slot element and the composed array can be compact, and the impedance bandwidth can be improved. Plane sheet is used as a reflector to make the slot array unidirectional radiation. The bandwidth of the proposed quarter-wavelength slot array is wider than the half-wavelength slot array. And it is also kept stable that the radiation gains and the radiation pattern. A plane sheet is used as a reflector which cancels the backed radiation and improves the radiation gain to make the slot array unidirectional radiation. The design details of the above slot array antennas are depth discussed in this thesis and are proved with the simulation and measurement results.
