| description | In this paper, a planar high-gain millimeter-wave (mmW) slotted substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity antenna array with low sidelobe and grating lobe levels is proposed. The antenna consists of a slotted SIW resonator and an SIW transmission line (TL). To achieve a high gain and simplify the structure of the antenna element, the slotted SIW cavity is resonated in high-order mode. Then, a high-gain antenna array is implemented with only four such elements. By analyzing the pattern multiplication principle of the antenna array and accurately adjusting the element spacing, the high grating lobe level caused by the large spacing of the high-order mode resonator is considerably reduced. In addition, a one-four unequal amplitude power divider is introduced to further reduce the antenna array’s sidelobe levels (SLLs). Finally, the proposed antenna array is fabricated for verification. The measured peak gain is 21.4 dBi at 27.3 GHz. The measured grating lobe level in the E-plane is reduced to −17.9 dB, and the measured SLLs are lower than −19.1 dB. |
