Optimum Design of SIW Longitudinal Slot Array Antennas with Specified Radiation PatternsAbstract
In this paper, an optimum design is presented for substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) longitudinal slot array antennas based on the method of least squares (MLS). Elliott’s design procedure for dielectric filled waveguides is considered, taking into account the internal and external mutual couplings. The MLS error function is a multi-term function based on design goals, including specified radiation patterns and matching of the input impedance. We use the hybrid method of genetic algorithm-conjugate gradient for the error function minimization. This approach is very effective because of combining the “pattern synthesis” with “impedance matching” and “calculation of array parameters”. This procedure increases the speed of design as well as synthesizing patterns with specified characteristics. The MLS design results and those obtained by HFSS and CST simulation software are in good agreement and verify the accuracy of the proposed method.
