Abstract(in English) In a conventional corporate-feed waveguide circularly polarized slot array antenna, plural thin metal plates are stacked and diffusion bonded. A problem is that the number of the plates is large due to the metal-wall cavity and the thick degenerated apertures in the radiation part. To solve this problem, we propose the radiation part in which plural thin layers of degenerated apertures are stacked with spaces among them without bonding. We aim to simplify the structure and maintain the characteristics. Conventionally, we designed using a general-purpose software. However, because of a large number of parameters and huge amount of time required for the analysis, we create a fast analysis program using the method of moments specified for the structure, and use a genetic algorithm for broadband design. As a result, 12.9% bandwidth for VSWR less than 1.5 and axial ratio lower than 3 dB are obtained with a small number of thin metal plates. In addition, the analysis time is reduced by 90.3% compared with general-purpose software.
