A Single Layer Dual-Polarization Array Antenna Based on Parallel Plate Gap Waveguide
Paper in proceeding, 2022
A dual-polarization array antenna based on over-moded parallel plate gap waveguide is presented in this paper. The antenna has only one metal waveguide layer that leads to simplification of manufacturing process. The antenna sub-array has four patches that are excited by a parallel plate gap waveguide through a cross slot. Two reflectors are utilized to feed the parallel plate gap waveguides in two directions. The simulated results show that the antenna bandwidth is 8.8% while its maximum gain is 25.5 dBi and its efficiency is about 85%.
