Abstract: The Technique, to design multibeam Radial Line Slot Array (RLSA) antennas optimally, was proposed in this study, using high beam squint values to produce more slots. This is necessary to maintain gain, which dropped due to the beam splitting. A gap was also incorporated between the slots group to overcome a coupling between adjacent beams which can lessen gains. RLSA models for 42 dual and 42 triple-beams were simulated after which a prototype for each was measured to verify the simulation. The results showed the possibility of obtaining multibeam antennas with similar symmetrical beams in terms of beamwidth, gain, and direction. The gains obtained were 13.5 dBi for the dual-beam and 10.5 dBi for the triple-beam, indicating a difference of 3 and 4.77 dB, respectively, with the single-beam antennas, thereby, making them suitable for the theory of beam splitting. The antennas also have sufficient bandwidth and a good reflection coefficient.
