Abstract :
A novel structure for a frequency-scanning millimeter-wave antenna is described. The antenna is constructed by embedding a dielectric leaky-wave antenna in a long trough with metal flares attached along both sides. The optimum flare angle for achieving maximum gain is theoretically predicted. The design of the leaky-wave antenna, which is comprised of metallic-strip perturbations on top of the dielectric guide, is also discussed.
