Dual broadband high gain SIW slot array antenna

A novel design of dual broadband high gain substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity backed slot array antenna is described. The SIW cavity is design in dominant mode TE10. The proposed antenna is design by two pair of λg/2-resonators cavity backed slot on broad wall of single layer substrate integrated waveguide. To place two pair unequal slot length in stair nature on broad-wall of SIW cavity are responsible to broadening the bandwidth at two different frequency band and also due to arraying nature of slot enhanced the gain. The proposed antenna have Lower frequency bandwidth 4.4% (9.58 GHz-10.02 GHz) and higher frequency bandwidth is 9.49% (10.84 GHz-11.92 GHz) with 10 dB gain at lower band and 9.4 dB gain at higher band. The proposed antenna has high gain, directive radiation field with high FTBR.
