Abstract :
The substrate integrated waveguide can easily be integrated with planar microwave circuits. Antennas designed on this transmission line have a planar structure, and can be fabricated by a standard PCB technology, so they are suitable for mass production. This paper presents the results of an investigation of leaky wave antennas designed on a substrate integrated waveguide. The interest is given to three antenna types: antenna radiating from a slot in the top waveguide wall, CRLH and dual band CRLH leaky wave antennas.
