Abstract
To provide a leaky-wave antenna that allows dual-polarization without limiting an emission range to either side. The antenna includes as an element unit (AE) a CRLH transmission line configured by multiply connecting CRLH unit cells (UC) in a periodic fashion between one ends and the other ends of two parallel lines (La, Lb). The respective unit cells (UC) have a left-handed series capacitor (CC) on each of the two parallel lines (La, Lb) and have a left-handed parallel inductor (L) between the two parallel lines (La, Lb). When power is fed between the two parallel lines (La, Lb), the two parallel lines (La, Lb) and the series capacitor (CC) serve to emit a vertical polarization component, and the parallel inductor (L) and a conductor between the two parallel lines (La, Lb) serve to emit a horizontal polarization component.
