Abstract :
We present a one-dimensional leaky-wave antenna that is fed from two ports and that provides a dual-polarized radiation pattern from a single radiating aperture. This simple and robust antenna provides high gain in both horizontal and vertical linear polarization with low cross-polarization levels (below -30 dB), which makes it potentially suitable for applications such as polarimetric radars.
