Abstract :
Leaky wave structure (LWS) based on two parallel spiraphase-type reconfigurable reflectarrays is presented. Simplified and full-wave mathematical models were used to predict the behavior of this LWS. According to the numerical simulation investigated LWS forms a multi-beam radiation pattern rather than a conical one.
