Slot antenna
First Claim
1. A slot antenna comprising:
- a first electrically conductive member having a first electrically conductive surface;
a second electrically conductive member having a second electrically conductive surface opposing the first electrically conductive surface;
a waveguide member between the first electrically conductive member and the second electrically conductive member, the waveguide member having an electrically conductive waveguide face of a stripe shape opposing the first electrically conductive surface, the waveguide member extending in a first direction along the first electrically conductive surface; and
an artificial magnetic conductor extending on both sides of the waveguide member, between the first electrically conductive member and the second electrically conductive member, wherein,the first electrically conductive member has one or more slots;
at least one of the slot or slots is a complex slot having a pair of vertical portions and a lateral portion that interconnects the pair of vertical portions; and
the lateral portion of the complex slot opposes the waveguide face, and intersects the first direction,wherein a width of a portion of the waveguide face that opposes the lateral portion of the complex slot is narrower than the width of the slot inclusive of the pair of vertical portions.

Abstract
A slot antenna includes: a first electrically conductive member having a first electrically conductive surface; a second electrically conductive member having a second electrically conductive surface opposing the first electrically conductive surface; a waveguide member between the first electrically conductive member and the second electrically conductive member, the waveguide member having an electrically conductive waveguide face of a stripe shape opposing the first electrically conductive surface, the waveguide member extending in a first direction along the first electrically conductive surface; and an artificial magnetic conductor extending on both sides of the waveguide member, between the first electrically conductive member and the second electrically conductive member. The first electrically conductive member has one or more slots. At least one of the slot or slots is a complex slot having a pair of vertical portions and a lateral portion that interconnects the pair of vertical portions. The lateral portion of the complex slot opposes the waveguide face, and intersects the first direction.
