In this paper, the waveguide slot array antenna which is capable of wide beam steering and dual polarization is designed for an X band synthetic aperture radar. In order to improve the restriction of beam steering range and to remove the butterfly lobes, a typical waveguide slot array antenna has been modified. To implement dual polarization, rod excited waveguide slot elements and ridge waveguide slot elements are alternately arranged. Location of slots, inclination of rod and offset distance of slots are determined on using array characteristic and conductance constant with radiating power on slots. The designed antenna is manufactured and measured with Near-filed measurement method.

A novel substrate-integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity-backed slot antenna is proposed in this study to achieve enhanced-gain performance. The peak gain is remarkably improved with the use of an SIW cavity and metallic superstrate. The superstrate comprises a single rectangular slot window and two half-wavelength patches. The gain can be enhanced by combining the in-phase radiating fields. Further, the 10 dB bandwidth of the proposed antenna ranges from 2.32 GHz to 2.49 GHz, which covers the wireless local area network band. The measured peak gain is 9.44 dBi at 2.42 GHz.

In this paper, the compact waveguide slot array antenna for interferometric radar altimeter is proposed. The proposed antenna structure consist of corrugation structure which is applied between each channel to improve isolation, three-channel waveguide slot array antenna and feeder. In addition, to reduce the occurrence of phase ambiguity, the baseline spacing of the three-channel antenna is analyzed and the results are applied to the design. For compact design, reduced height and SMP connector structure are used and the dip brazing method which is the conjugation method after dipping to flux is used for the fabrication of the lightweight antenna. The measurement result of the proposed antenna shows less than 1.41 : 1 (VSWR) and 48.3 dBc (isolation). The antenna gain is higher than 20.2 dBi and the side lobe levels are lower than 18.8 dB (vertical plane) and 10.0 dB (horizontal plane).

본 논문에서는 구형 도파관의 협벽에 이중 슬롯을 가진 비공진형 슬롯 도파관 안테나를 설계하였다. 설계된 협벽 슬롯 도파관 안테나는 슬롯의 기울임 각도에 의해 복사되는 에너지가 결정되기 때문에, 요구되는 부엽 크기를 만족시키는 복사에너지의 크기 분포가 나오도록 각 슬롯의 기울임 각도를 조정하였다. 기울임 각도의 조정은 기존의 슬롯 도파관 안테나의 설계에서 주로 사용되는 슬롯 컨덕턴스 추출 방법이 아닌, 개개의 슬롯 개구면 필드를 푸리에 변환하여 원전계 복사 패턴을 계산하고, 원전계 복사 패턴으로부터 최대 크기의 분포를 산출하는 방법을 사용하였다. 제안된 방법으로 비공진형 이중 슬롯 도파관 안테나를 설계하고, 실제 제작하여 안테나 성능을 측정, 비교하였다.

Design methods are presented for an X-band traveling-wave slot array realized on a rectangular waveguide. An array of 21 longitudinal slots is realized on the broad wall of a rectangular waveguide. The squint of the antenna main beam is adjusted using the element spacing and the waveguide broad wall dimension. The excitation of the array is controlled by the slot offset from the waveguide center line Multiple I-plane steps are placed around last slot elements so that the second-order beam due to tile reflected wave Is minimized A waveguide-to-coaxial adapter Is designed for feeding the array antenna from a coaxial system. Results of the design show an outstanding performance of the antenna 17.1 dB gain. 36"beam 1111, and -21 dB maximum sidelobe level.evel.

This paper is about design of optimal structure of slot antenna array antenna with inner waveguide in accordance with the slot model, and fabrication of its prototype sample operating at the frequency of 24 GHz. Results of this work can be employed as a useful tool to develop and diversify slot antenna having superior performance and omni-directivity to that of current antenna. The implemented antenna demonstrates ultra-wideband performance for frequency ranges 24 GHz with the relatively high and flat antenna gain of 18.64dBi and low sidelobe levels. In addition, a $2{\times}8$ antenna array for phased-array systems and mm-wave sensor applications is also presented.

A compact dual-band half-ring-shaped (HRS) bent slot antenna fed by a coplanar waveguide for wireless local area network (WLAN) and worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) applications is presented. The antenna consists of two HRS slots with different lengths and widths. The two HRS slots are connected through an arc-shaped slit, and the upper HRS slot is bent in order to reduce the size of the antenna. The optimized dual-band HRS bent slot antenna operating in the 2.45 GHz WLAN and 3.5 GHz WiMAX bands is fabricated on an FR4 substrate with dimensions of 30 mm by 30 mm. The slot length of the proposed dual-band slot antenna is reduced by 35%, compared to a conventional dual-band rectangular slot antenna. Experimental results show that the proposed antenna operates in the frequency bands of 2.40-2.49 GHz and 3.39-3.72 GHz for a voltage standing wave ratio of less than 2, and measured gain is larger than 1.4 dBi in the two bands.

본 논문에서는 도파관 슬롯 배열 안테나의 요소로서 구형 도파관 광벽 중심에 위치하고, 비대칭 아이리스에 의해 급전되는 종방향 션트 슬롯을 제안하였다. 아이리스의 기구 치수를 적절히 조절하면 원하는 주파수에서 슬롯을 공진시킬 수 있다. 제안된 슬롯은 넓은 범위의 정규화 공진컨덕턴스, 공진시 도파관 내의 최소 위상변화 등의 장점을 가진다. 부가적으로 제안된 슬롯이 도파관 슬롯 배열에 적용될 때 각 슬롯들이 일직선으로 배치되기 때문에 원치 않는 교차편파 준위를 낮출 수 있다. 부엽준위 -20 dB를 가지는 $8{\times}1$ 중앙 급전 도파관 슬롯 배열 안테나를 설계, 제작한 후 실험하였다. 측정결과들은 시뮬레이션 결과들과 잘 일치하고, 주파수 9.41 GHz에서 부엽준위 -18.13 dB, 교차편파 준위는 -48.85 dB로서 종래의 종방향 슬롯배열안테나에 비해 약 15 dB 정도 개선되었다.
