Abstract
A new principle of a solar slot antenna is presented. The slot antenna inte
grates amorphous silicon solar cells which are directly grown on the ground
plane where the slot antenna is cut. To facilitate the deposition of the s
olar cells, stainless steel was used for the ground plane. The effect on th
e efficiency of the antenna of this rather unusual choice for the conductin
g ground plane is also described.
