Se. Bankov et Ti. Bugrova, ANALYSIS OF A MILLIMETER-WAVE INTEGRATED BEAM-FORMING NETWORK FOR QUASI-OPTICAL MULTIBEAM ANTENNAS, Microwave and optical technology letters, 6(13), 1993, pp. 782-786
An integrated beam-forming network analysis for multibeam antennas bas
ed on an array of dielectric slotted waveguides in millimeter waves is
proposed. The advantages of such networks include low losses, high ap
erture efficiencies, and design flexibility in comparison with traditi
onal quasitopical systems. A new technique for obtaining the main char
acteristics by solving eigenwave and diffraction problems of the basic
structure of the proposed network has been developed. (C) 1993 John W
