Abstract

A probe-fed slot antenna is provided having an inner conductor, a cylindrical outer conductor coaxial with the inner conductor, and a plurality of slots in the outer conductor. A plurality of probes extend from the cylindrical outer conductor into the interior, each probe adjacent to one of the slots. A coupling ring is mounted coaxially between the outer and inner conductors to allow efficient transfer of RF energy to and from the slots.
