The single element consists of a circular microstrip patch capacitively coupled to a printed slot-end WR-51 waveguide. A corporate waveguide feeding network at H-plane is designed, which is composed of bends, T and Y-junctions. An optimization process with septums and irises is performed to get the best possible matching coefficient. An antenna prototype has been manufactured and measured. A maximum gain of 12.6 dBi, up to 91.6\% radiation efficiency and 13\% bandwidth (16 to 18.3 GHz) has been experimentally achieved.}, issn = {1098-2760}, doi = {10.1002/mop.30711}, url = {http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/mop.30711/epdf}, author = {A T Muriel-Barrado and J L Masa-Campos and P Sanchez-Olivares} }
