Numerical and experimental generated data during project https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-024-68646-7

The dataset was generated during a project aimed at designing a wide band, enhanced gain dual-polarized antenna. The radiating element of the antenna is designed with multiple slots positioned at unequal spacing but symmetrical along the origin. This methodology provides three-fold advantages: a reduction of side lobes, an adjustment of phase center, and a significant reduction of radiation nulls. The antenna has been fabricated, and experimentally validated. The antenna exhibits a reduction in radiation null to − 0.5 dB, a phase adjustment of the main lobe to 0°, and a reduction in side lobe level from − 14.4 dB (N = 2, equal spacing) and − 15.5 dB (N = 4, equal spacing) a maximum of − 19.7 dB (N = 4, unequal spacing) at 12.35 GHz in the phi-0 plane.
