Abstract
Waveguide antennas and corresponding manufacturing methods are described herein. These include dual-linear antennas. These dual-linear antennas provide efficient transmission and reception of two radio-frequency signals that may be polarized in orthogonal orientations. The electrically conducting features within the dual-linear antenna are manufactured using standard printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing technology. The final outer form of the dielectric waveguide antenna may be machined by turning on a lathe or similar mechanical technique, cast in a mold, or injection molded, and the final outer form is accurately aligned and registered to the radio-frequency features of the PCB. The dual-polarized antenna device may include multiple pairs of parallel slot antennas fabricated within a planar printed circuit.
