Abstract :
A dual-loop slot antenna consisting of two identical loops fed by a triplate line is proposed. It is experimentally demonstrated that the antenna radiates a unidirectional beam of linear polarisation. It is also shown that the generation of a circularly polarised wave is possible by adding perturbation elements to the loops.
