Summary:
A radial line slot antenna with honeycomb structure for satellite on-board equipment is proposed in this paper. The slot coupling with three-layer dielectric waveguide is analyzed by the method of moments and is incorporated into the design method of the radial line slot antennas. The first model with the diameter of 900mm is fabricated; the gain is 33.9dBi with efficiency of 35.5% and the reflection is -9.49dB at 8.8GHz.
