Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a waveguide fed open slot antenna. In some examples, the antenna comprises a waveguide section, a slot, a matching load, a waveguide bottom extension, and a vertical metal wall. The waveguide section can be in the form of a rectangular waveguide or a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW). The slot can comprise a rectangle, with one of its long sides abutting the top surface of the waveguide section, and another long side abutting the matching load, while the two short sides do not connect any metal. The waveguide bottom extension can be rectangular. The end of the waveguide bottom extension and the edge of the matching load on the side close to the open slot can be connected together by the vertical metal wall. In this way, the slot can be excited.
