Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) A slotted waveguide array is newly fabricated by diffusion bonding of laminated thin plates. This new fabrication method is a promising one of low cost, because of high-precision etching technique in low price. And the die with very high cost, which is crucial in die-casting as the conventional mass-production, is unnecessary as ever. Perfect electric connection is realized between slotted plate and grooved waveguide base by diffusion bonding, therefore both the choke structure and the antenna assembly using crews can be abbreviated together. According to the processing conditions, the thickness of slotted plate and that of coupling windows are increased to 0.3mm and 1.0mm, respectively. All these effects of large thickness are precisely evaluated and taken into account during the antenna design. The radiating characteristics of resonant slots are not degenerated much. On the other hand, the frequency characteristics of power dividing and reflection become narrow-band because non-resonant coupling windows are applied in the feed circuit. In this trial fabrication, the material of laminated thin plates with the thickness of 0.1mm is selected as stainless, which has been proven before. As the measured results, a high antenna efficiency of 44% with the total reflection below -11.6dB and peak gain of 30dBi is realized for the first time around 94GHz. As the detail of antenna losses, the reflection loss and the aperture efficiency are -0.31dB and -1.14dB, respectively. The conductor loss of -2.12dB is also estimated.
