This paper proposes a compact continuous transverse stub (CTS) array that utilizes substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology. The CTS array includes six radiation slots and is powered by a novel linear source generator (LSG) with a parabolic reflector located on the bottom layer. The LSG conve...
