Breakthroughs in Low-Profile Leaky-Wave HPM Antennas

Abstract

This report describes progress during the 9th quarter of this program and highlights the current status of the research. Technical activities this period emphasized a generalization of the plane-wave decomposition approach (used previously to guide initial FAWSEA design recipes) to apply to the Arched Aperture Waveguide Sidewall-Emitting Antenna (AAWSEA). The resulting expressions form a basis for developing more general design scripts, which should allow us to account for (and at least partially compensate for) H-plane aperture curvature prior to the use of computationally-intensive numerical modeling for design optimization.
