Abstract :
The paper describes a new holographic antenna concept that uses a diffraction pattern (hologram) formed on a dielectric substrate and fed by a surface wave. Analytical models and necessary design tools have been developed to investigate the feasibility of this new concept. A demonstration prototype antenna was designed, fabricated, and tested, and the measured radiation patterns at 35 GHz showed good agreement with the theoretical prediction.
