A Corporate-Feed Slotted Waveguide Monopulse Array Antenna Covering the Full E-Band Using Diffusion Bonding of Laminated Plates

摘要

This paper reports a corporate-feed slotted waveguide monopulse array antenna covering the full E-band using diffusion bonding of laminated plates. The antenna has a multi-layer structure, which consists of radiating elements, a corporate-feed circuit and a comparator. It has four input ports for different excitation. The antenna can generate sum and difference beams in different cut-planes for monopulse operation. The design, characterization and experimental results will be presented in detail in the conference.
