Radial-line slot array antenna with electrically beam-steering ability is proposed. INTRODUCTION The radial waveguide structure has been used for feeding circular antenna arrays 1–3 or for designing broadband multiple-port power divider-combiner circuits for power amplifier applications 4–7. 1 Introduction A radial line slot antenna (RLSA) was a high gain, high e・ツiency and low-cost planar antenna, which was conventionally proposed for DBS reception at 12 GHz band. In the conventional RLSA, a radial waveguide was fed by a coaxial feeder.
