Abstract
A planar W-band monopulse antenna array is designed based on the substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology. The sum-difference comparator, 16-way divider and 32 × 32 slot array antenna are all integrated on a single dielectric substrate in the compact layout through the low-cost PCB process. Such a substrate integrated monopulse array is able to operate over 93 ~ 96 GHz with narrow-beam and high-gain. The maximal gain is measured to be 25.8 dBi, while the maximal null-depth is measured to be - 43.7 dB. This SIW monopulse antenna not only has advantages of low-cost, light, easy-fabrication, etc., but also has good performance validated by measurements. It presents an excellent candidate for W-band directional-finding systems.
