Abstract
This paper discusses radiation phenomena in a metamaterial transmission line based on series capacitive gaps and CSRRs periodically loading a host microstrip line and acting as a leaky-wave antenna. The analysis performed for different distances between CSRRs and the substrate edges shows that in narrow substrates destructive interference occurs between free-space leaky wave radiation and surface wave modes, reflected at substrate edges.
