Abstract:

Parts I and II of this three-part series of papers presented the theory for this new type of leaky-wave antenna. Part III now describes the measurements that verify the validity of the theoretical expressions. Measurements were made both at millimeter wavelengths and in the X-band frequency range and of two different quantities: the propagation wavenumbers \beta and \alpha and radiation patterns. Comparisons were made with numerical values obtained from the theoretical expressions derived in Parts I and II and very good agreement was found in all cases.
