摘要 |
A compact multifrequency band antenna structure is disclosed. Such antenna structure is comprised of a first and second antenna section, each one thereof arranged to form an integral antenna structure. The first antenna section is a slotted waveguide planar array antenna (designed for operation in one frequency band) which serves as the ground plane for the second antenna section (the latter section being designed for operation in a second frequency band). The second antenna section is constructed such that the polarization of the radiation associated therewith is orthogonal to the polarization of the radiation associated with the slotted waveguide planar array antenna, thereby increasing the electrical isolation of the two antenna sections. In disclosed embodiments the second antenna section is formed from stripline and microstrip and the radiating front face portion of the slotted waveguide planar array antenna forms a ground plane for such stripline and microstrip.
