ABSTRACT:
A printed circuit cavity-backed crossed-slotted conductive element having two legs of each slot coupled by stripline feeders to a radio communications device. The feeders supply the radio frequency signal with a 180 degree phase shift in order to cancel cross-coupling from one leg to another around the intersection. The conductive element and the stripline feeders are mounted on separate substrates which are attached together with other elements to provide shielding and mechanical protection. The crossed-slot design reduces space and structure required for a mobile application while achieving good performance. When mounted in an array, the crossed slot antennas may be directionally tuned to a specific satellite/frequency/direction via pin diode phase shifters.
