Abstract
This paper presents two miniaturized slow wave structures in microstrip leaky- wave antennas (MLWAs) which operate about 8 GHz. The effects of these structures on the scan angles have been compared in the paper. The designed interdigital capacitors and folded-back line have been investigated with ADS Momentum software. It has been shown that the interdigital capacitors (IDCs) yield to a broad scan angles from +53 to −74 degree, while the folded-back line inductor scans only the positive angles.
