2-D planar leaky-wave antenna with fixed frequency beam steering through broadside

A two-dimensional leaky-wave antenna fed by an array of fully integrated sources and able to provide fixed-frequency continuous beam steering through broadside is presented in this contribution. The structure is constituted by a 'bull-eye' leaky-wave antenna fed by a proper arrangement of four surface-wave launchers, whose excitation coefficients are selected to control the beam pointing angle around broadside.
