High-gain and high-efficiency single-layer slotted waveguide array for use in 22 GHz band

A slotted waveguide planar array using a single-layer feed circuit is proposed for high-frequency and high-gain antennas. The high efficiency of 75.6% and the gain of 35.9 dBi are obtained in the 22 GHz band, which confirms the potential of this type of antenna. The antenna consists of only two components, a slotted plate and a groove feed structure, and can be mass produced.
