Slotted Waveguide Antenna

A slotted waveguide antenna is a type of directional antenna that uses a large metal tube (waveguide) with evenly spaced slots cut into its surface. When powered by a radio signal, the waveguide directs electromagnetic waves out through these slots, focusing the signal in a specific direction. This design allows for efficient, high-power communication over long distances, commonly used in radar, satellite communication, and broadcasting. The slots act like controlled openings that shape and steer the signal, making the antenna highly effective at transmitting and receiving focused radio waves.
