The invention discloses a substrate integrated waveguide technology-based high-gain circularly polarized antenna array and a manufacturing method of the antenna array. The broadband substrate integrated waveguide circularly polarized antenna array comprises an upper-layer radiation substrate and a lower-layer feed substrate, wherein the radiation substrate comprises a first antenna unit, a second antenna unit, a third antenna unit and a fourth antenna unit, and the first antenna unit, the second antenna unit, the third antenna unit and the fourth antenna unit are symmetrically arranged by taking the center of a circle as an axis; a radial substrate integrated waveguide power distributor which is divided into four parts is distributed on the feed substrate and is used for feeding the four antenna units. The high-gain circularly polarized antenna array disclosed by the invention has the advantages that the gain is high, the broadband is wide, the radiation characteristic is good, the design is simple, the machining is easy and the cost is low; compared with the current substrate integrated waveguide circularly polarized antenna, the antenna provided by the invention has the advantages that the gain is remarkably improved and the circularly polarized bandwidth is remarkably increased.
