  • Abstract
    The recently developed electric-magnetic-electric (EME) microstrip is successfully used to design a compact leaky-mode antenna with fan beam radiation patterns. The EME microstrip consists of composite metals paralleling the electric and magnetic surfaces, where the magnetic surface is made of an array of coupled inductors. The frequency scanning behavior, experimentally and theoretically confirmed by matrix-pencil analyses, indicates that the line width can be reduced by 20%, compared to that of the conventional microstrip with the identical radiation angle of the first higher order (EH/sub 1/) mode at the same frequency.
