Abstract :
Based on the transmission line theory considering radiation effects, the authors have examined the meta-structured leaky wave antennas (MLWA) in terms of scanning capability and reflection coefficients near the design frequency of 2 GHz. The theoretical scanning angle when N=30 is estimated to be from 63deg to 60deg. The paper have also provided some convenient closed-form equations for circuit parameters to facilitate MLWA designs.
