ABSTRACT:
An antenna 10 with a dual end resonant slot array feed 26 improves the bandwidth performance of a resonant slotted waveguide planar array antenna 10. The dual end resonant slot array feed 26 includes a tee junction 28/30 which may be either an E-plane 28 or H-plane 30, two waveguide sections 32, 34, and two E-plane waveguide bends 36, 38. The two waveguide sections 32, 34 are formed by a septum 40 mounted in a slotted waveguide 42 for separating the input tee junction 38, 30 from the slots 44 of the slotted waveguide. The ends of the septum 40 coacting with the ends of the waveguide to form the E-plane waveguide beds 36, 38 . Thus, resonant feeding of the series-slot waveguides 50 is achieved by the opposing traveling waves thereby eliminating the need to use resonant short circuits, cavities, or folded short circuits. Further direct coupling to the series slots 44 directly adjacent to the E- 28 or H-plane 30 feed point 50 is avoided by introducing the septum 40 between the feed point 50 and the row of slots 44.
