Abstract :
A compact slot-array antenna has been designed at 17 GHz. Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) technology has been used. A reduced size (10×7cm) has been achieved integrating the feeding network at the bottom of the antenna. A transition between two SIW by means of a coupling slot has been designed. A gain of 19 dB has been measured at 17 GHz. Over a band of 4.4% a gain bigger than 18 dB has been achieved.
