Abstract :
In this paper, we present and analyze a model phased antenna array of rectangular waveguides that employs a new mode of excitation and a new approach to antenna pattern scanning. The phased antenna array is excited by the surface wave of a planar dielectric waveguide lying on a metal substrate.
