Abstract

In this paper we present experimental and numerical data of half and full wave slot antennas backed by a ground plane. In the experiment the space between the metal plane with the slot and the ground plane has been air-filled for easy variation of the plate separation d. The results show that the input impedance of the slot antenna as well as the excitation of the parallel-plate waveguide mode depends strongly on the plate separation d. The minimum impedance of the full wave slot is about 3Ω, which promises successful application as a resonator for an impatt diode. Numerical investigations have been extended to silicon substrates and show similar behaviour.
