Design Considerations and Examples of Planar Integrated Array Antennas for W-Band Radars

Abstract

In this article, the design considerations of W-band planar integrated array antennas for radar applications, i.e., integration, performance, robustness and others, are summarized as a reference for engineers and researchers in the field of civilian radar industry. Three different W-band radar antennas proposed by the authors are also exhibited and discussed as examples.
