Abstract :
One way to construct a leaky-wave antenna is to place a simple source (such as a dipole) between a ground plane and a highly reflective surface. Examples of reflective surfaces that have been used in the past include one or more dielectric layers of high permittivity, a metal strip grating, and a thin film of superconducting material. In this paper, a leaky-wave antenna using a reflective surface made from a two-dimensional periodic array of metal patches is studied.
