This paper presents a feeder waveguide array of slot array antennas for Direct Broadcasting from Satellite(DBS). The feed structure consists of a single waveguide placed on the same layer as radiating waveguide and is characterized by the unit divider, called a $\pi$-Junction. This K-function with an inductive wall splits part of the power into two branch waveguide through one coupling window, and can excite densely arrayed waveguide at equal phase and amplitude. The power dividing characteristics of a cascade of $\pi$ -functions are analyzed by Galerkin's method of moments. From the optimum simulation results based on the feeder waveguide using $\pi$ -Junction at 3.95GHz, we obtained the scattering matrices of the feeder divided power at 11.85CHz.

In this paper, the single-layer slotted waveguide array antenna is designed, which consists of two par the slot plate and the structure of waveguide. The key difficulty in mass production is the realization of perfect electrical contact between the two parts. Therefore the single-layer slotted waveguide array antenna is presented with a dumbbell patch and a choke. The choke can prevent from the leakage between the slot plate and waveguide, while the choke in the adjacent waveguide incurs space dissipation. To reduce the spacing of antennas about a dumbbell patch is utilized. the 16${\times}$16 array antenna gain of 27.2 ㏈ with 45 % aperture efficiency is obtained.

In this paper, a rectangular waveguide probe with a ridge-loaded straight slot (RLSS) is presented for a near-field scanning microwave microscope (NSMM). The RLSS is located laterally at the end wall of the cavity and is loaded on double ridges in a narrow straight slot to improve the spatial resolution compared with a straight slot. The probe consists of a rectangular cavity with an RLSS and a feed section of a WR-90 rectangular waveguide. When the proposed NSMM is located at distance of 0.1mm in front of a substrate without patches or strips, the simulated full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the probe improve by approximately 31.5 % compared with that of a straight slot without ridges. One dimensional scanning of the E-plane on a sample under test was conducted, and the reflection coefficient of the near-field scanning probe is presented.

In this paper, the design and fabrication of slot array in the broad wall of the waveguide for Ka-band monopulse radar are discussed. The aperture distributions are designed for the desired antenna gain, beamwidth and Side-lobe Level(SLL), and then slot parameters, such as lengths and offsets, are obtained for corresponding to each slot admittance in the equivalent circuit by using Elliot's array synthesis procedure. MWS-CST simulation shows the return loss below -10 dB, antenna gain above 32 dBi, 3 dB beamwidth of 3.7 degree and SLL of -20 dB. In order to demonstrate the expected results, the designed antenna is fabricated and measured.

This paper presents design for radiation element of slotted waveguide by the method of moment. The piecewise sinusoidal function as the basis function is used for the Moment Method. From the analytically results based on the Galerkin's moment method, frequency characteristics and radiation power is investigated for the design parameter such as the slot length, offset and angle. This paper also discusses that the radiation power is controled by the slot offset and angle. The thickness of the waveguide wall is also discusses in the analysis.

This paper describes the characteristics of beam-tilting slot away waveguide antennas for mobile DBS reception. As a basic study of slotted waveguide array, design for 16 slot elements located on a broad-wall waveguide is considered. Design parameters such as slot length, space between each slot and cross slot angle of antennas with the beam-tilting characteristics are calculated by method of moments. Based on these results, the radiation waveguide antennas with 16-element $\times$16-array are designed and fabricated. The measured main beam direction angles of the fabricated antennas are 48$^{\circ}$to 50$^{\circ}$depending on the measured frequencies and it shows good agreement with prediction. The measured 3 dB beam width of elevation pattern is about 13$^{\circ}$, and the axial ratio and the gain measured at DBS band are observed 2.8 dB below and 24 dBi above, respectively. In order to evaluate a performance of the fabricated waveguide planar antenna, it is combined with the satellite tracking control system and the field performance test of antenna mounted on a mobile vehicle is carried out at highway. During the measurement, it was possible to watch television without a break signal in a driving vehicle and an excellent performance of the proposed antennas was demonstrated.

In this paper, a dual-frequency printed slot antenna loaded with an open-ring conducting strip and capacitively fed by a coplanar waveguide(CPW) is designed. The designed antenna has a bandwidth of 240㎒(1690㎒-1930㎒) at PCS frequency band and of 160㎒(2380㎒-2540㎒) at WLAN frequency band. In both frequency ranges, pattern and gain requirements are satisfied. The commercial software, IE3D, was used to design slot antenna. The predicted characteristics along with measured data are presented for verification purpose.

An analysis method of slot-coupled microstripline to waveguide transition is presented to developed a simple but accurate equivalent circuit model. The equivalent circuit consists of an ideal transformer, microstrip open stub, and admittance elements looking into a waveguide and a half space of feed side from a slot center. The related circuit element values are calculated by applying the reciprocity theorem, the Fourier transform and series representation, the complex power concept, and the spectral-domain immittance approach. The computed scattering parameters are compared with the measured, and good agreement validates the simplicity and accuracy of the proposed equivalent circuit model.

In this paper, the compact waveguide slot array antenna for interferometric radar altimeter is proposed. The proposed antenna structure consist of corrugation structure which is applied between each channel to improve isolation, three-channel waveguide slot array antenna and feeder. In addition, to reduce the occurrence of phase ambiguity, the baseline spacing of the three-channel antenna is analyzed and the results are applied to the design. For compact design, reduced height and SMP connector structure are used and the dip brazing method which is the conjugation method after dipping to flux is used for the fabrication of the lightweight antenna. The measurement result of the proposed antenna shows less than 1.41 : 1 (VSWR) and 48.3 dBc (isolation). The antenna gain is higher than 20.2 dBi and the side lobe levels are lower than 18.8 dB (vertical plane) and 10.0 dB (horizontal plane).

This paper presents half wavelength partial H-plane filters with multiple attenuation poles using narrow H-plane slot of evanescent waveguide. The narrow H-plane slot operates as an admittance inverter o( the bandpass filter and, simultaneously, generates an attenuation pole at particular frequency. Therefore, proposed filters with attenuation poles are simply implemented without any additional coupling and extra modification of the structure. The number of attenuation poles of the filters equals to that of the H-plane slots. Moreover, proposed filters are compact waveguide filter since ones are embodied by partial H-plane waveguide which has 1/4 cross section of conventional waveguide. The third and fourth-order half wavelength filters having 4 and 5 attenuation poles, respectively, are designed in H-band and their frequency responses are confirmed by simulation and measurement.
