Abstract :
A novel periodic microstrip leaky wave antenna is presented in this letter. The radiation patterns are similar to the conventional MLWA. The measured half-power beamwidth of H-plane radiation patterns are less than 30deg. This design can be a candidate for personal communications and automobiles radar systems.
