Abstract

A compact Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) Leaky-Wave Antenna (LWA) is proposed. Internal vias are inserted in the SIW in order to have narrow walls, and so reducing the size of the SIW-LWA, the new structure is called Slow Wave — Substrate Integrated Waveguide — Leaky Wave Antenna (SW-SIW-LWA), since inserting the vias induce the SW effect. After designing the antenna and simulating with HFSS a reduction of 30% of the transverse side of the antenna is attained while maintaining an acceptable gain. Other parameters like the radiation efficiency, Gain, directivity, and radiation pattern are analyzed. Finally a Comparison of our miniaturization technique with Half-Mode Substrate Integrated Waveguide (HMSIW) technique realized in recent articles is done, shows that SW-SIW-LWA technique could be a good candidate for SIW miniaturization.
