Abstract :
This paper presents a theoretical prediction of the field radiated from a uniplanar slotline antenna operating with the leaky wave. Discussion on a possible spectrum of space leaky waves is opened. Several antennas and their feeding structures are designed. The return loss and radiation pattern of the antennas are calculated and experimentally verified
