Parasitically coupled, complementary slot-dipole antenna element

TLDR
A parasitically coupled, complementary slot dipole antenna element includes a driven, cavity-backed slot antenna element and a parasitic dipole element transverse to the slot of the cavity-supported antenna element as discussed by the authors.
Abstract
A parasitically coupled, complementary slot dipole antenna element includes a driven, cavity-backed slot antenna element and a parasitic dipole element transverse to the slot of the cavity-backed slot antenna element. The cavity-backed slot and parasitic dipole antenna elements resonate at about the center frequency of the excitation signals supplied to the cavity-backed slot antenna element in order to generate a relatively symmetrical electromagnetic signature and an increased bandwidth.

Planar dual polarization antenna

TL;DR: In this paper, a microwave-frequency microstrip antenna (10) simultaneously usable for both transmitting and receiving microwave frequency signals that have dual orthogonally polarized components was presented. But the authors did not consider the use of a meanderline polarizer for converting from linear polarization to circular polarization.

Compact multifrequency band antenna structure

TL;DR: In this paper, a compact multifrequency band antenna structure is disclosed, which consists of a first and second antenna sections, each one of which is arranged to form an integral antenna structure, and the second antenna section is constructed such that the polarization of the radiation associated therewith is orthogonal to the polarization associated with the slotted waveguide planar array antenna.
