Building blocks for hybrid waveguide/suspended-stripline parallel/series fed millimeter wave arrays

In this paper the design of a travelling wave power divider and waveguide based radiating elements to be used to design millimeter wave arrays have been presented. Results are relevant to Ka band prototypes but the characteristics of the proposed solutions allow to extend the design to higher frequency.
