Abstract :
This paper presents the design of high-gain, high-efficiency and mass produceable planar arrays for millimeter waves using novel single-layer slotted waveguides. State of the art performance of three types of waveguides is surveyed. A model antenna realizes 35 dBi gain and 64% efficiency at 60.2 GHz
