Slot antennas are very popular microwave antennas, and slotted waveguides are used for high frequency radar systems. A thin slot in an infinite ground plane is the complement to a dipole in free space. This was described by H.G. Booker, who extended Babinet’s principle from optics to show that the slot will have the same radiation pattern as a dipole such that the E and H fields are swapped. As a result, the polarization is rotated, so that radiation from the vertical slot is polarized horizontally. In this work, we show how this straightforward analytical technique can be used for the design of high-frequency THz slot antennas. The analysis is then corroborated by using a numerical simulation which validates the performance parameters predicted by the analytical technique. We show by simulation that, despite the simplicity of our classical approach, we obtained useful results, even at THz frequencies. We show that gradually moving the slot position from the centerline improves the antenna’s performance.
