Abstract :
A coupled microstrip leaky-wave structure in a waveguide model is studied theoretically by the full-wave analysis in the spectral domain. Galerkin´s method is used for the solution of the problem. The complex propagation constant in the even and odd mode as a function of the strip gap and the physical dimensions of the structure have been numerically evaluated.<>
