Abstract :
The possibility that the longitudinal slit coupling structure to the parasitic strip conductor may be used in the leaky wave antenna design of a microstrip type has been tested. The radiation pattern and matching characteristics of a fabricated antenna were measured, and a comparison between the theoretical and the experimental results was given.
