Abstract: | This paper presents a double-layer leaky-wave microstrip antenna that is entirely planar for easy fabrication. The cavity model and the full-wave spectral domain method are used to analyze the proposed structure. The results from these two approaches agree well with experimental data. The planar structure makes the leaky-wave antenna convenient for implementation in a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) environment. Also, due to the flexibility of the microstrip structure, the geometrical shape can be modified for other desirable radiation patterns |
