Summary :

Light weight RLSAs with a honeycomb-type parallel plate are promising candidates for satellite antennas. However, the design of slot lengths and positions in honeycomb RLSAs consisting of a core, skin and adhesive layers involves time-consuming EM analysis. In this paper, an equivalent double layer model is devised for fast slot coupling analysis by the Method of moments (MoM) together with a simplified array design procedure. A fabricated antenna with a diameter of 900mm demonstrates the high directivity of 48.3dBi and a gain of 44.6dBi at 32GHz, with the reflection below -15dB. This antenna weighs only 1.16kg.
