We also measured the near field pattern of the antenna, and calculated the far field pattern from the near field pattern.

One end of the element is short-circuited to ground, while the other end is connected to the transmission line. The energy from port 1 excites each radiating element along the transmission microstrip line and is finally connected by port 2. The all-metal structure reduces the manufacture difficulty and cost.

The electrical characteristics of the proposed waveguide simulated with parameterized position of the feeding point and the slot spacing were compared.
