A new technique called the Dual Parasitic Beam (DPB) technique is proposed to suppress grating lobes in a rectangular waveguide broad wall transverse slot array. This technique involves an extra layer of parasitic strip dipoles that generate the DPB to suppress the grating lobes without opposing the main beam of the original slot linear array. A full wave EM analysis in Method of Moments (MoM) is conducted to compute the coupling excitation coefficients as well as the far field patterns of the slot and dipole currents. Analysis shows that a suitable dimension and arrangement of dipoles are needed to get a desired level of dipole excitations to meet the grating suppression condition. It is found that the grating lobes can be suppressed as much as 15 dB in the presence of the parasitic dipoles. Experiments are conducted to confirm the computed results.
