摘要
In this letter, a new quasi-uniform leaky-wave antenna is proposed. The structure of antenna is based on an airfilled rectangular waveguide in which the radiation occurs through transverse slots on the broad wall of the waveguide. This antenna is designed using a systematic method based on the thinned array theory in order to achieve a low side-lobe level (SLL). The designed antenna radiates at center frequency of 10 GHz at theta = 60 degrees with the SLL of about -20 dB. The proposed antenna scans a part of forward quadrant with low SLL and high gain over the frequency band of 9.8-10.2 GHz. Simulated and measurement results of the antenna are investigated; there is a good consistency between measurement and simulation results.
