Summary:
The paper presents a new antenna design that utilizes waveguide properties of cylinders with longitudinal slots to achieve optimal efficiency. Numerical analysis and experimental data presented in the article show that when the length of the antenna slot approaches the wavelength in free space, the field in the antenna aperture approaches the optimal distribution. Consequently, the antenna with slots and opened cylinders of optimal length can reach the maximum efficiency.
