Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of antennas, in particular to a substrate integrated ridge waveguide slot array broadband leaky wave antenna. Background technique [0002] As a device for radiating or receiving radio waves, an antenna is one of the most basic components of a radio communication system. The performance of the antenna directly restricts the communication quality of the radio communication system. The waveguide slot antenna is composed of slots opened on the waveguide wall. In order to enhance the directivity of the waveguide slot antenna, one or more slots of the same size or different sizes are usually opened on the same side wall of the waveguide according to certain rules. array. The waveguide slot array antenna has narrow main lobe beam, low side lobe level, low cross polarization level, and easy to achieve high gain, so it is a hot spot in the research of array antenna. [0003] The waveguide slot array antenna made of the tra...
