- The type of dielectric material used as radial cavity in the Radial Line Slot Array (RLSA) antenna structure would influence the characteristics of the antenna, particularly its Radiation Pattern.
- Finally, starting from the antenna end of the radial wires and about every three-to-four feet, hold the wire down with a radial wire staple while pulling the radial out from the antenna to keep it taut. Push it in as far as possible to get the wire as close to the grass roots as possible. I typically use a hammer or rubber mallet to drive it home.
$begingroup$ @edwin I'm aware that I can put an antenna on a smart, I currently have a 1/2 meter whip. I still want to open the rear hatch, his HF antenna mount makes it impossible to open the lower half. The frame I'm building will go up and over the rear of the allowing for an easy return to stock and full use of the rear cargo, I actually use the smart for transporting things.

Abstract:
A radial line slot antenna (CP-RLSA) is a slotted waveguide planar array for DBS reception. A number of designs have been devised, but these designs have pros and cons. In order to suppress grating lobes and increase the gain, this article will introduce a new wave material =1.06, arrange the angle and modify configurations of the slot sets. The results of experiment illustrate the validity of the design and analysis.
