Abstract :
Surface wave launchers have been used to feed leaky wave antennae. We present here for the first time measured results of a two element CPW-fed surface wave launcher array. It was shown at 22 GHz that this array can beam steer the surface wave 40deg. Array fabrication, measurement set-up and signal processing will also be described in the paper.
