Abstract :
The narrow-wall slotted waveguide array is widely used in many radar applications and is complicated to analyze. Previous works have been reported on how to analyze the structure. However, it is the first time that the optimization results of this waveguide array antenna are presented in this paper. Two optimization examples are given and results show that the radiation patterns are improved after optimization.
