The invention discloses a frequency scanning CTS
flat panel array antenna, includes a
radiation layer and a
broadband line source layer arranged in order from top to bottom, the
radiation layer includes a first
radiation element and a second radiation element, a first
radiating element is located above the second
radiating element, the first radiation unit includes a first
metal plate and 17 continuous transverse branches disposed on the first
metal plate, the first
metal plate is a rectangular plate, 17 consecutive transverse
branch are uniformly spaced from left to right on that first metalplate. The second radiating unit comprises a second metal plate on which a non-uniform slow
wave structure, a sixth rectangular
waveguide cavity and a seventh rectangular
waveguide cavity are sequentially arranged from left to right, and a
broadband line source layer comprises a third metal plate, a single
ridge waveguide feeding network and a single
ridge waveguide. The second radiating unit comprises a second metal plate, wherein the second metal plate is provided with a non-uniform slow
wave structure, a sixth rectangular waveguide cavity and a seventh rectangular waveguide cavity from leftto right Rectangular waveguide converter and quasi-TEM mode
line source generator. The invention has the advantages of small size, high
gain and high efficiency.
