Ku band low profile asymmetric Bull’s-Eye antenna with reduced side lobes and monopole feeding

In this paper, a linearly polarized low profile and asymmetric Bull’s-Eye leaky wave antenna fed by a monopole operating at 13 GHz is presented. Broadside radiation from the monopole is achieved by surrounding it with an asymmetric array of semicircular metallic strips on a grounded dielectric slab....

description In this paper, a linearly polarized low profile and asymmetric Bull’s-Eye leaky wave antenna fed by a monopole operating at 13 GHz is presented. Broadside radiation from the monopole is achieved by surrounding it with an asymmetric array of semicircular metallic strips on a grounded dielectric slab. With this implementation we demonstrate high gain with a weight of less than 80 g and lower side lobe levels compared to previous designs fed by a resonant slot. The measured antenna shows an experimental gain of 19.4 dBi with only 5 periods and a side lobe level of −16 dB (−20.3 dB for the numerical ideal case at f = 12.6 GHz), along with a narrow 6º beamwidth
