waveguides
Ultrasonic flowmeters that use transit-time ultrasonic transducers face measurement errors due to ``crosstalk,'' whereby the working signal travels through the pipe wall and couplings, interfering with the signal from the fluid. Although various procedures have been proposed to solve the issue of crosstalk, they're limited to low-frequency ranges, or they are not effective in high-pressure environments.

This work introduces an E-plane hollow waveguide antenna array feeding network to feed 4 units of 2x2 sub-arrays as aperture elements. The feeding network and the sub-arrays are built as one object and fabricated using 3D-printing technology. The material used in 3D-printing is polymer and the cavity of the antenna array with the feeding network were metalized using sufficient layer of conductive silver epoxy. The introduced design exhibits an 18% bandwidth at center frequency of 14 GHz with a gain of 16 dBi.
