Abstract :
Slotted waveguide antennas are widely employed in radar and communication systems thanks to their high performance in terms of compactness, low loss, power handled. A new powerful CAD tool for the design and analysis of this kind of antennas is presented. High computational efficiency, accuracy and reliability of the software are demonstrated by specific examples and by comparison between simulations and measurements.
