The invention provides a low-sidelobe
waveguide filtering slot array antenna for 5G
millimeter waves and a working method, and belongs to the field of communication systems. The antenna is formed by sequentially connecting an input port, a pre-stage filtering
resonator group and a final-stage composite
resonator in series. The front-stage filtering
resonator group consists of two rectangular
waveguide resonant cavities; a plurality of rectangular
radiation slots are formed in the surface of the top of the final-stage composite resonator to form a
radiation array, and the cavity serves as a final-stage
resonance unit of the filter at the same time, so that
deep integration of a filtering function and a
radiation function is achieved. According to the invention, the final-stage filtering
resonant cavity and the radiation slot are integrally designed, so that the cascading loss is eliminated, and the
system efficiency is remarkably improved; the gap offset is accurately controlled by using a Taylor synthesis method, and a low
side lobe level of-20 dB is realized; and a 3D printing process is adopted, so that the low-cost manufacturing problem of a complex structure is solved. The invention is suitable for 5G
millimeter wave devices in the
frequency band of 28 GHz, and has the advantages of high integration level, high performance and good manufacturability.
