In this article, we present a dielectric leaky-wave antenna with periodic metallic patches. Its design is made using HFSS software. Analysis of the antennas radiation pattern shows that one can control the direction of the main beam and the levels of minors lobes from the diameters and numbers of the holes. This significantly reduces the weight of the antenna while improving its performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
