This paper presents a computational approach for calculating the equivalent normalized admittance of slot in low sidelobe SIW longitudinal slot antennas. In contrast to the existing methods, this method takes into account the impact of the N-slots coupling on the admittance. Through this method, fitting functions for resonant length and conductance are obtained, which describe the relationship between the resonant length, resonant conductance, and offset of slots. Moreover, based on the two fitting functions, a low sidelobe SIW longitudinal slot linear antenna is designed for millimeter-wave radar applications at 77 GHz. This antenna consists of a transition from the standard WR-12 waveguide to the SIW and a set of radiating slots. The simulation results indicate an impedance bandwidth of 4.8% and a gain of 13.2 dBi. The sidelobe level in the H-plane is below \u221228 dB, which meets the desired specifications and confirms the accuracy of the presented method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16030474","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,26]],"date-time":"2024-01-26T08:56:01Z","timestamp":1706259361000},"page":"474","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["A Method for Low Sidelobe Substrate-Integrated Waveguide Slot Antenna Design Applied for Millimeter-Wave Radars"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-8040-0179","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shuqi","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Electromagnetic Radiation and Sensing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"School of Electronic, Electrical and Communication Engineering, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5576-0934","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bin","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Electromagnetic Radiation and Sensing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"GBA Branch of Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou 510700, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7443-0850","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guangyou","family":"Fang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Electromagnetic Radiation and Sensing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"School of Electronic, Electrical and Communication Engineering, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"},{"name":"GBA Branch of Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guangzhou 510700, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"625","DOI":"10.1109\/8.668903","article-title":"Single-layer feed waveguide consisting of posts for plane TEM wave excitation in parallel plates","volume":"46","author":"Hirokawa","year":"1998","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
