The substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) concept is proposed as a viable antenna feed operating a t Ku-band. The efficiency obtained from integrating the feed technology with the antenna is comparable to the metallic waveguide feed, at a much reduced cost and increased miniaturization capability. Results are presented for a prototyped 2 x 4 subarray module, which exhibits a 16 dB gain.
