Abstract :
In this paper, the theoretical analysis of a microstrip leaky wave antenna fed at two terminals is presented. Besides the beam-switchable property, a new characteristic of the beam scanning at fixed frequency of the antenna is discovered, which is believed to be useful in the application of mobile communications.
