Abstract:This paper presents a broadband continuous transverse stub (CTS) antenna array with wide scanning range based on substrate integrated waveguide (SIW). The SIWCTSs radiators are periodically arranged on the coplanar waveguide (CPW). A novel broadband CPW slowwave structure is proposed as the feedline to increase the phase difference of the adjacent antenna elements. Depending the phase variation from 89.3° to -83.3° within the frequency range of 8.6~13.7 GHz, a wide beam steering range depending on frequency is achieved. A reflector is located at onefourth wavelength away from the antenna array to reduce the backward radiation. A 4element CPWCTS antenna array based on SIW is designed and simulated using the HFSS fullwave analysis software. The simulated results show that the frequency range of the reflection coefficient less than -10 dB is 8.6~14 GHz. The main beam of the antenna is scanned from -40° to 56° in Eplane with the frequency increasing. At every main radiation direction, the gain varies within the range of 9.8 ~ 12.3 dBi.
