Abstract
This communication presents the results of an investigation of a new version of a leaky wave antenna designed on a CRLH substrate integrated waveguide. The antenna operates in two frequency bands and its main beam can be steered from backward to forward direction by changing the frequency. The antenna structure is planar and can be fabricated by a standard PCB technology, so it is suitable for mass production. An efficient method for determining the complex dispersion characteristic of periodic 1D structure is proposed.
