Partition Waveguide Slotted Array With Shaped Patterns

The design of a large partition waveguide slotted array (WSA) is summarized. Genetic Algorithms (GAs) is employed to synthesis the fan beam shaped pattern waveguide slotted array. Waveguide phase shifters are used to compensate the definite phases for each waveguide. The whole array is divided into eight partitions to broaden the bandwidth. Full wave simulations confirm the design of the shaped pattern antenna.
