Abstract

A class of triple-band and triplex cavity-backed slot antenna is proposed by using three fundamental modes in a single metal cavity: TE011, TE101, and TM110 modes, simultaneously. These three resonant modes can be excited by changing the position of the feeding slot without any extra components configured inside the cavity. By opening a single radiation slot, a single band triple-mode cavity-backed slot antenna is achieved. By opening three slots at three side walls of the cavity, a triple-band cavity-backed slot antenna is realised with three different radiation directions at three different operation frequencies. Moreover, a triplex triple-band antenna can be formed by combining a single slot antenna and three input ports in the proposed rectangular cavity. Finally, a triple-band multi-directional cavity-backed slot antenna prototype and a triplex triple-band cavity-backed single slot antenna prototype are fabricated and tested. The tested results are in good agreement with the simulated results, which indicates the feasibility of the proposed design methodology.
