Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a center-feeding ridge waveguide slot antenna, which can be used as an array unit of a large phased array antenna and belongs to the technical field of waveguide slot antennas. Background technique
[0002] The waveguide slot antenna has been widely used in missile-borne and airborne radar equipment due to its many advantages such as high radiation efficiency, compact structure, easy realization of low sidelobes, and stable and reliable performance.
[0003] Conventional broadside waveguide slot antenna adopts alternately opening longitudinal slots on both sides of the centerline of the broadside of the waveguide to achieve in-phase radiation. The broadside length of a general waveguide is about 0.75Ξ» 0 (Ξ» 0 is the free-space wavelength). When forming a planar array, the array spacing in the vertical direction to the waveguide is the width of the waveguide plus the wall thickness of the waveguide. From the relationship betw...
