Technology assessment of aperture coupled slot antenna array in Groove Gapwaveguide for 5G millimeter wave applications

A compact triple-layer series fed slot unit array using Groove Gap Waveguide (GGW) technology for 5G millimeter-wave applications is presented in this paper. The design employed a two-step coupling mechanism for the radiating slots. The aperture coupling design when combined with the groove gapWaveg...

The design employed a two-step coupling mechanism for the radiating slots. The aperture coupling design when combined with the groove gapWaveguide (GGW) technology allows achieving three different goals: First, a reduction of the array size in the transversal direction, so more unit arrays can be added without grating lobes. Secondly, low insertion losses with high radiation efficiency. And third, a reduction of the manufacturing complexity with good stability against fabrication tolerances of up to 0.1 mm, making the design feasible to be massively deployed.
