Slotted Waveguide Array Antenna

Description

Slotted-waveguide arrays are flat antenna solutions long known for their compactness, ease of mass production, and ability to handle high power levels. Based on this technology, Anywaves offers a high-quality full-metal antenna solution perfect for a variety of satellite applications ranging from inter-satellite link communications to synthetic aperture radar.

Our R&D engineering team proposes a design specific to project requirements, based on electromagnetic dispersion engineering, so as to maximize antenna gain in a given direction and minimize beam angular deflection. With a hybrid series/parallel feed system, Anywaves’ slotted-waveguide antenna is an excellent candidate for high-gain applications in Ku- and Ka-band. Its full-metal structure allows it to avoid ESD phenomena, be thermoelastically robust, and have an ultra-low profile, among other things. Considering a gain roll off of 1 dB, we can efficiently design slotted-waveguide antennas to attain high-gain radiation (20 dBi minimum) along fractional bandwidth in the order of 5% in circular polarization.

Last but not least, following the quality policy adopted for its products, Anywaves’ slotted antennas endure a severe qualification campaign including mechanical vibrations, shocks and thermal vacuum cycling in order to ensure a product suitable for harsh environments. Custom acceptance tests are in turn guaranteed and agreed upon with Anywaves throughout the hardware development project.

Please note that our Slotted Waveguide Array Antennas are not a COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) product. They are custom-made upond demand, hence why we do not have a generic datasheet to provide.
