Abstract
This letter presents a 4 × 4 single-layer dual-band array antenna operating in the K- and Ka-band using gap waveguide (GW) technology. Radiating elements consist of I-shaped slots located on the top plate of the antenna and backed by a novel coaxial cavity with the dual-frequency operation. The antenna presents two ports, one for each band, and radiates a directive far field pattern with linear polarization. A single-layer wideband corporate-feed network is used to excite the cavities. In addition, a diplexer is integrated as part of the network to separate both working bands. Experimental results show impedance and radiation pattern bandwidths larger than 2 GHz in both bands.
