An original leaky-wave antenna (LWA), conceived
from a microstrip line which is laterally shielded by parallel plates,
is presented in this paper. This structure shows, for the first time,
that the leakage rate of a microstrip leaky-mode can be easily
controlled while negligibly affecting the pointing direction. The
antenna is based on the radiation from the second higher order
mode of the microstrip line, which is perturbed by the addition
of the two conductor walls to control the level of the leakage
rate. The parallel-plates also serve as a mechanism to obtain a
single main beam in...
