Design of a Gap Waveguide Based Unit Cell for 1-D Beam Scanning Application at W-band
Paper in proceeding, 2023

In this paper, we present a 1-D scanning slot array unit cell column based on ridge gap waveguide technology which can be a good candidate for wide scanning antenna applications at 100GHz. A parametric analysis of the proposed model is organized to demonstrate the merits and potential performance. Simulated data in terms of H-plane pattern and impedance bandwidth as well as the scanning characteristics has been investigated for the unit cell column of slot array. Also, design concerns regarding manufacturing issues and corresponding mechanical challenges have been taken into account while doing the electromagnetic design. The chosen unit cell which consists of a column of slot array works with 6-16% impedance bandwidth and achieves a scanning up to ± 60° in one dimension.
