Driving Point Impedance for a Linear Array of Half-Width Leaky-Wave Antenna (Preprint)

Abstract

Printed leaky-wave antennas offer the potential for a low-profile, wide-bandwidth antenna element that can be arrayed if desired. Microstrip leaky-wave antennas rely on the suppression of the familiar 0EH mode and the propagation of the radiating 1EH mode. It is well-known that above a critical frequency, this leaky-wave will propagate with little attenuation and that the phase difference between the two radiating edges of the microstrip leads to radiation. The driving point impedance for a given leaky-wave antenna.
