In this book we have analysed the design of several types of slotted waveguide array antennas, from theories and optimisation to applications and manufacturing techniques. In this last chapter we will discuss the current status in the field and look at new technologies and new applications recently presented and researched. Still, in this short overview it is not possible to mention all the details of the evolving field; the reader is referred to the respective chapters and the references for more information.
