Low Sidelobe Single-Layer Slotted Waveguide Arrays at 76 GHz Band
Summary :
This paper presents the design of low sidelobe single-layer slotted waveguide arrays. The Taylor distribution with -25 dB sidelobe level is synthesized in two orthogonal directions in the aperture. The multiple-way power divider consisting of a cascade of novel π-junctions is introduced; each π-junction, two-way power divider, is so designed as to accept unequal power dividing by adopting an offset window. The smooth Taylor distribution is realized at the output of the multiple-way power divider, which was originally developed only for uniform distribution. A model antenna for Taylor distribution is tested at 76 GHz. The measured sidelobe level is below -24 dB in both E- and H-plane. The highest gain is 34.5 dBi with 50% efficiency which is only 15% lower than that for uniform aperture illumination.
