Abstract :
This paper proposes a microstrip slot line leaky-wave antenna, loaded with MIM capacitor, capable of both frequency scannability and fixed frequency beam steering much higher than reported earlier in the band of 4.56 to 5.06 GHz. The proposed antenna design and experimental results are presented
