Summary:
We design and fabricate double-layer slotted waveguide array antennas with wide bandwidths and high efficiencies for 120 GHz and 350 GHz bands. To achieve high gain and high efficiency in high frequency bands, the diffusion bonding technique of plate laminated waveguide is used as a fabrication method. The antennas with 16x16 slots show about 70% efficiency with 32 dBi gain and about 50% efficiency with 31 dBi gain in the 120 GHz and 350 GHz bands, respectively.
