Abstract
In this paper, a trough leaky-wave antenna is considered that was inspired by the half-width microstrip leaky-wave. The TLW antenna is naturally suitable for flush-mount installation in a metallic body such as an automobile. The radiation characteristics will be investigated in more detail such as the design of the matching cavities and their effect on the upper half-space radiation pattern as well as the VSWR and main-lobe direction.
