Waveguide antenna
View Patent ↗The present disclosure is to provide a waveguide antenna to which a horn-type horizontal distribution divider structure is applied, and the waveguide antenna according to the present disclosure may comprise the first layer having a power feeder provided in the horizontal direction and the horizontal divider connected to the power feeder and provided in the horizontal direction, the second layer including the first divider power feeder connected to the first layer and connected to one side of the horizontal divider through the first through hole, the second divider power feeder connected to the other side of the horizontal divider through the second through hole, the first and second radio wave radiating units connected to the first divider power feeder, and the third and fourth radio wave radiating units connected to the second divider power feeder.
1 . A waveguide antenna comprising:
a first layer having a power feeder provided in a horizontal direction and a horizontal divider connected to the power feeder and provided in the horizontal direction; and
a second layer including a first divider power feeder connected to the first layer and connected to one side of the horizontal divider through a first through hole, a second divider power feeder connected to the other side of the horizontal divider through a second through hole, first and second radio wave radiating units connected to the first divider power feeder, and third and fourth radio wave radiating units connected to the second divider power feeder-, wherein
the power feeder of the first layer includes a feeding line for feeding the horizontal divider and a ridge provided to protrude in a center along the feeding line;
the ridge includes a thickness step part whose thickness decreases at an end in contact with the horizontal divider;
the feeding line includes a width step part whose width increases at the end in contact with the horizontal divider; and
the thickness step part is located inside the width step part.
2 . The waveguide antenna of claim 1 , wherein the width of the first and second radio wave radiating units of the second layer is smaller than the width of the first divider power feeder, and the width of the third and fourth radio wave radiating units of the second layer is smaller than the width of the second divider power feeder.
3 . The waveguide antenna of claim 1 , wherein the first divider power feeder and the second divider power feeder of the second layer are separated by a partition.
