Description
Summary:The antenna designers always look for low profile, durable, attractive and high gain antennas for point to point and point to multipoint as well as satellite broadcasting applications. From this point of views, Radial Line Slot Array (RLSA) antenna is very attractive for this types of communications because of geometrical simplicity, low profile feature and cost effectiveness. Nowadays Radial Line Slot Antenna (RLSA) became a unique choice for wireless bridge point to point application. A RLSA antenna has been proposed nearly 40 years ago and became the subject of study as perspective antenna for direct TV satellite broadcasting and any other wireless communications since 1980.
