摘要: A high-gain, broadband, and low-profile continuous transverse stub antenna array is presented in E-band. This comprises 32 long slots excited parallel by a uniform corporate parallel-plate-waveguide beamforming network combined to pillbox coupler. The radiating the feed are built aluminum whereas coupler its focal source fabricated printed circuit board technology. Specific transitions have been designed combine both fabrication technologies. design, fabrication, measurement results detailed, simple design methodology proposed. well matched ( $S_{11} dB) between 71 86 GHz, an excellent agreement found simulations measurements, thus validating proposed design. gain higher than 29.3 dBi over entire bandwidth, with peak of 30.8 at 82.25 beam having roughly same half-power beamwidth E- H-planes. architecture considered as innovative solution for long-distance millimeter-waves telecommunication applications such fifth-generation backhauling
