Efficiency of 76-GHz post-wall waveguide-fed parallel-plate slot arrays.

Efficiency of 76-GHz post-wall waveguide-fed parallel-plate slot arrays.

We design and fabricate various sizes of 76-GHz post-wall waveguide-fed parallel-plate slot arrays. The post-wall waveguide is an array of metalized via-holes with a narrow spacing in a grounded dielectric substrate. The antenna can be easily made at low cost by conventional PCB (printed circuit boa...
