Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of antenna microwave technology, in particular to a millimeter-wave SIW (Substrate integrated waveguide, dielectric integrated waveguide) horn antenna loaded with an EBG (Electromagnetic BandGap, electromagnetic bandgap) structure. Background technique [0002] With the increasing tension of the electromagnetic spectrum in the traditional microwave band, wireless applications in the millimeter wave band are becoming more and more extensive. In wireless applications in the millimeter wave band, such as point-to-point high-speed communication, high-resolution radar, etc., the demand for antenna miniaturization, high integration, and low cost is increasing. [0003] The traditional horn antenna has the advantages of high front-to-back ratio (front-to-back ratio = forward energy / backward energy), high gain, etc., but its disadvantages such as high profile and large volume limit its application in millimeter waves, especia...
