Slotted waveguide array antenna is a crucial structure in microwave frequency antennas with many applications in radar and communications systems. Previously, slotted waveguide array antenna systems mainly used metal materials. The study of slotted array antenna based on the waveguided with SIW (Substrate Integrated Waveguide) technology is a novel approach. The paper presents the results of researching, designing, and manufacturing waveguide slot array antenna with low SLL using SIW technology in X-band. The results will be an essential basis for selecting a design solution for slotted waveguide array antenna by SIW technology to replace traditional metal slot array antennas in practical applications in X band radar antenna systems.
