“…Moreover, the flat topology of this antenna makes it useable as a stacked plank element. With pillbox antennas, high gain and fan-beam radiation pattern can be easily obtained, which make them interesting for radar applications and remote sensing [4][5][6][7][8]. However, they are usually, in their single layer and symmetric form, suffering from high side lobes due to the large aperture blockage originated by the feed system.…”

In this work, a symmetric pillbox antenna with low side lobes is designed, simulated and fabricated by using gap waveguide technology. The proposed antenna operates on the basis of the reflector antenna principle and provides a fan-beam radiation pattern. In the proposed structure, the antenna aperture is loaded by a stepped discontinuity and a corrective pin to improve the side-lobe level (SLL) and gain. The designed antenna impedance bandwidth (S 11 < −10 dB) is 42% at the Ku band. Also, −15 dB < SLL < −10 dB and a gain of 16.6-18.7 dBi are achieved over the operating bandwidth. There is a good agreement between the simulated and measured results.

Radar is an object‐detection system that transmits/receives and processes reflected electromagnetic waves to determine the location, angle, and velocity of targets such as aircraft, spacecraft, guided missiles, motor vehicles, and ships. In the radar system, the antenna is an essential component and plays an important role in detecting objects. There are various antenna candidates that can be adopted into radar systems. In this article, definitions of fundamental antenna parameters are given, and then various possible antenna candidates for radar systems are demonstrated and analyzed. Various reflectors with corresponding feeding source have been widely used as radar antennas with high gain and low cost, while phased‐arrays provide the radar system with the ability of dynamic scanning with a flat profile. Combing the advantages of the reflector and the phased array, the concept of reflectarray is introduced and the corresponding design principles and characteristics are discussed. Different types of radiation elements with corresponding characteristics for constructing reflectarrays are presented. Due to the innovative enhancement that novel metamaterials can provide to antenna engineering, radar antennas based on (or incorporating) metamaterials are also presented. In addition, for each antenna type representative examples are demonstrated for a more comprehensive understanding.
