Patent ID: 7916094

Claim:
A leaky wave antenna, comprising: a first leaky wave antenna structure and a second leaky wave antenna structure, each, comprising: a dielectric body and an elongated wave carrying structure, the dielectric body and elongated wave carrying structure in each of the first and second leaky wave antenna structures being mutually arranged to radiate a leaky wave from the elongated wave carrying structure through the dielectric body, the leaky wave in each respective leaky wave antenna structure radiating at a respective angle to the elongated wave carrying structure, and wherein the dielectric body of the first leaky wave antenna structure and the dielectric body of the second leaky wave antenna structure adjoin each other in a common plane that is at the respective angles to the wave carrying structures of the first and second wave antenna structure respectively, the respective wave carrying structures meeting each other at said common plane, and wherein the antenna comprises a feed arranged to excite waves in both the respective wave carrying structures together.
