Summary :

The authors propose a novel waveguide two-way power divider, named as τ-junction, in a feed waveguide of a single-layer slotted waveguide array antenna. This junction occupies only a small space and is placed in the middle of a cascade of several power dividers. It suppresses the long line effect and widens the bandwidth of the feed waveguide. The junction has two inductive walls; one is for suppressing the reflection and the other is for controlling the ratio of divided power to the two output ports. Analysis using Galerkin's method of moments is verified by experiments of a 4 GHz-band model. We install the junctions in a 12 GHz-band single-layer slotted waveguide array. The gain reduction at the band-edge is suppressed.
