Description
We are presenting a new topology of dual-polarized leaky-wave antenna, allowing for the full control of its aperture illumination in magnitude and phase. Such an antenna enables to produce any radiation pattern property, for example low SLL as considered in our designs. Prototypes working at K and Ka-bands have been fabricated thanks to SLA additive manufacturing process.
Why your contribution is relevant for the event?
The antenna that we are proposing is a complex one, including a dual-mode OMT feed and ridges' modulation. Additive manufacturing is the only process solution to allow for high precision, compact and monolithic fabrication of this complex topology.
Two printed antennas have been measured and will be presented.
