Abstract

A high directivity slot antenna is presented herein. A method can include receiving, through an aperture of an antenna, a first electromagnetic signal away from a direct path from a source of the first electromagnetic signal to an electrical element of the antenna—the aperture corresponding to a first opening of a central chamber included between portions of radio frequency absorbent material, and the electrical element corresponding to a second opening of the central chamber. Further, the method can include absorbing the first electromagnetic signal into a first portion of the portions of radio frequency absorbent material—the first portion comprising a baffle that is adjacent to a first segment of the radio frequency absorbent material, and the baffle comprising a metallic element that alters a radio frequency propagation of the first electromagnetic signal from the central chamber into the radio frequency absorbent material.
