Hello all,
I've searched the forums for similar threads, but it seems that most of them are either unanswered or address a different issue from mine, so here goes.
I've been trying to design a 6x16 (6 rows with 16 slots in each row) slotted waveguide array. I used MATLAB to calculate each slot's length and offset using Elliott's design equations. The problem is, when calculating the parameter for my antenna I find that sometimes it's impossible to fulfill Elliott's first design equation, which makes the solutions fail to converge. I'm not sure if this is a mistake on my code, or whether there are some other design considerations when designing a slotted waveguide array.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
