A Design Procedure for Slot Arrays Fed by Single-Ridge Waveguide

Abstract

Elliott's design procedure for arrays of longitudinal slots in one broad wall of each rectangular waveguide is extended to the case that the waveguides have ridges in the opposite broad walls. External mutual coupling has been taken into account. A two-by-eight array was constructed and tested; the results validate the theory. Ridging is significant because it permits E-plane scanning from broadside to endfire. © 1988 IEEE
