Abstract:Series-fed arrays occupy a distinctive place in antenna engineering, providing a simple, elegant, and efficient solution for a wide range of high‑gain applications, from classical high-power slotted waveguide antennas to modern millimeter‑wave automotive radar systems. Despite being a well‑established technique, series feeding has not lost its relevance, and there remains significant potential for continued <a href="http://innovation.This" target="_blank" title="innovation.This">innovation.This presentation revisits the fundamental concepts that underpin series-fed arrays, starting with classical realizations and landmark contributions that have shaped the field. A tutorial introduction to series-fed array design is provided, with particular emphasis on physical intuition and the key constraints that have guided their development over <a href="http://decades.In" target="_blank" title="decades.In">decades.In the second part of the talk, the continuing potential for innovation in this mature area is illustrated through several new series-fed configurations.
