✦ Synopsis

Abstract

We propose a novel planar slot‐array antenna fed by a new guiding structure which forces a quasi‐TEM mode within an oversized rectangular waveguide. To achieve a quasi‐TEM mode throughout the waveguide a hard surface is placed on the bottom surface of the waveguide while the radiating slots are at the upper face. The waveguide is able to propagate invariant linear phase‐fronts along the axial direction which makes it attractive for steerable array antennas. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract A cavity‐backed slot antenna array using a single waveguide‐fed subarray is proposed to reduce feed‐line loss, increase radiation efficiency, and make the feed network simple. A subarray consists of 2 × 4 slot elements backed by a single cavity. By proper choice of dimensions, it is sho

An impro¨ed transmission line model for a single microstrip-fed slot element is extended to the case of a linear array with negligible interelement mutual coupling. S-parameter results obtained for two-, four-, and eight-element slot arrays fa¨orably compare with those from Pozar's reciprocity metho
