Integrated-EBG Ridge Waveguide and Its Application to an E-Band Waveguide 32×32 Slot Array Antenna
Journal article, 2020

A methodology of designing an E-band waveguide 32×32 slot array antenna with high-efficiency and low-cost manufacturing characteristics is proposed in this article, which is based on an integrated electronic bandgap (EBG) ridge waveguide designed by integrating a cross rectangle-hollow EBG structures in the conventional ridge waveguide. The integrated EBG structure intercepts the leakage from the unconnected gap in between the two metallic plates of the waveguide, and then it decreases the manufacturing cost without using the diffusion bonding technology and multi-layer welding assembly process. The design guideline is discussed, and then the antenna is fabricated. The measured radiation characteristics are in good agreement with predicted ones, which confirms that the proposed cross rectangle-hollow EBG structures is an attractive candidate of high-performance millimeter wave antenna.
