Abstract
This paper describes cylindrical coplanar waveguide (CCPW)-fed slot and folded slot antennas encompassing cylindrical substrates. Using a 1.27 cm diameter Teflon substrate, antennas that operate around 7 GHz have been realized with gains of 1.5 dB (slot) and 2.8 dB (folded slot). The antennas have a well-defined pattern null of 8 dB along the side of the CCPW feedline. A 1.6 GHz slot antenna on a 1.27 cm diameter alumina substrate was also fabricated using a novel direct-write technique, and shown to have comparable performance characteristics. The results include measured data and simulated data using a 3D cylindrical finite difference time domain (FDTD) code.
