Abstract

A complete design of substrate integrated leaky wave cavity antenna for fixed frequency beam steering is presented. The antenna consists of a small rectangular metallic tapered cavity fed by hook-shaped element and covered by the substrate. The steering of the beam in the desired direction is achieved by controlling the taper of the cavity. The beam is scanned at fixed frequency by changing position of the microstrip lines on the substrate. The substrate placed on the cavity resolves the problem of input impedance mismatch. The pertinent features of the antenna are compactness, broadband, and fixed-frequency beam steering capability.
