Abstract :
A set of differential feed short (~0.7 λ0) leaky-wave antennas with sum (Σ) and difference (Δ) patterns is presented. Rigorous field-theory analyses show that the radiation characteristics of these antennas agree well with the measurements. The performance of these antennas is well suited for direction finding applications
