Abstract :
In this paper, we propose a novel broadband planar feeding structure composed of conventional microstrip and CRLH transmission lines (CRLH-TL). Design concepts for both microstrip leaky-wave antenna and broadband feeding structure with CRLH-TL are reported. Performances of the feeder and measured result of antenna system are shown comparing with the simulated data.
