Abstract :
In this work we analyze some perspectives for improving the performances of printed leaky-wave antennas for MIC applications. To this aim, based on rigorous spectral-domain approaches, we have in particular proposed and tested various original topologies of radiators derivable by uniform microstrip lines. The relevant properties have been discussed to achieve advanced leaky-wave antenna configurations.
