Abstract :
A novel leaky wave antenna based on the generalized NRI-TL has been proposed. The design process has been demonstrated and good agreement between circuit and full-wave simulations has been obtained. The antenna has been shown to scan from a backward to forward direction over two frequency bands that were selected by proper choice of the equivalent circuit components. The antenna will next be fabricated and measured results are expected to be presented during the symposium.
