AN ANTENNA ARRAY WITH DOUBLE TRANSVERSELY ARRANGED SLOTS AT A WAVEGUIDE WITH DIELECTIC-COVERED SLOW-WAVE STRUCTURE

Abstract
Energy and directivity characteristics of an antenna array incorporating single and double transverse slots cut through in the wide wall of a rectangular waveguide partially field with a dielectric coat have been studied. Both in the case of single transverse slots and double ones, the dielectric layer is parallel to the waveguides wide walls. A possibility is shown for constructing the antenna array that incorporates double slots and whose pattern has no diffraction lobes and offers a high radiation coefficient over a wide frequency range.

KEY WORDS: antenna array, horizontal polarization double slots, slowing structure
