Abstract :
An annular slot on triplate feed is discussed which is suitable for use with vehicular mobile satellite systems. The slot is excited in a higher order mode and circularly polarised to give a conical radiation pattern. The slot can operate on a high dielectric base and a superstrate improves the gain
