Abstract

A new design of feed for radial line slot antenna (RLSA) is presented. For better impedance match to the waveguide the effect of the various feed parameters is analyzed and their design sensitivity is studied. This paper emphasizes the advantages of using feed with a funnel below the connector entry and a conical segment over the entering probe.
