Abstract :
The Elliott´s procedure for the design of a waveguide longitudinal slot array has been extended to the case of dielectric-covered planar slot arrays. A protective dielectric cover is required in many different applications of waveguide slot arrays, especially in aerospace and satellite applications. The results of the synthesis procedure have been validated against a commercial FEM software.
