Abstract
Bull’s eye antennas exhibit remarkable directivity considering their low profile, albeit accompanied by high sidelobes. This undesirable radiation characteristic is tackled here by reporting a complementary split ring feeding whereby the broadside space-wave partially responsible for the high sidelobes is cancelled while the leaky wave is excited effectively. This feeding results in an asymmetric bull’s eye antenna with minimal profile (∼ 0.73λ0) and no protrusions on the radiating interface. The fabricated 10-period antenna operating in the Ka-band shows a directivity of 23.5 dBi, a sidelobe level of −22.9 dB (>6 dB improvement compared to other bull’s eye antennas) and a beamwidth of 3.7◦ and 6.7◦ in the E- and H-plane, respectively.
