Abstract :
This paper describes the design and performance of a circularly polarized S-band planar array antenna for the Surveyor spacecraft. The planar array consists of corrugated waveguide transmission lines containing crossed slots and pairs of complex slots. A high overall antenna efficiency was achieved in a 38.5 inch square array that weighs only 8-1/2 pounds.
