Abstract :
A novel feeding system using substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technique for antipodal linearly tapered slot array antenna (ALTSA) is presented in this paper. After making studies by simulations for a SIW fed ALTSA cell, a 1×8 ALTSA array fed by SIW feeding system at X-band is fabricated and measured, and the measured results show that this array antenna has a wide bandwidth and good performances.
