Radial line slot array (RLSA) antenna design for point to point communication at 5.8 GHz

A new type of linearly polarized Radial Line Slot Array (RLSA) antenna developed by FR-4 substrate is proposed for outdoor WLAN point to point application. The WLAN is based on the IEEE 802.1 la standard and the operating frequency range is the upper UNII band (5.725-5.875) GHz. The frequency range...
