  • Abstract
    This article presents an overview of the radiation from fast and slow traveling waves. The goal is to describe the mechanisms that give rise to the radiation in a leaky-wave antenna (LWA). An infinite aperture distribution and line-source assumptions will be used to convey the concepts. In addition, the relationship between the leaky-wave antenna and other types of traveling wave antennas will be elucidated.
