Design of a W-band four-channel dual-polarization waveguide slot antenna

The W-band full-polarization radar detection system is in need of a new type of antenna feed with good performance. The waveguide slot array antenna, has the advantages of low profile, high radiation efficiency, easy access to high gain. It has been become the research emphasis in the field of millimeter wave detection. In order to satisfy the need of developing complete polarization radar detection system, a W-band four-channel dual-polarization waveguide slot antenna is designed. The results of the simulation and optimization tests show that, the antenna has outstanding technical characteristics in double polarization. The antenna gain is higher than 13dB, and the cross-polarization level lower than -34dB. The bandwidth below VSWR 1.5 is better than 2.8GHz. High isolation of over 50dB is achieved between different polarization input ports.
