Abstract
A steerable artificial impedance surface antenna steerable in phi and theta angles including a dielectric substrate, a plurality of metallic strips on a first surface of the dielectric substrate, the metallic strips spaced apart across a length of the dielectric substrate and each metallic strip extending along a width of the dielectric substrate, and surface wave feeds spaced apart along the width of the dielectric substrate near an edge of the dielectric substrate, wherein the dielectric substrate is substantially in an X-Y plane defined by an X axis and a Y axis, wherein the phi angle is an angle in the X-Y plane relative to the X axis, and wherein the theta angle is an angle relative to a Z axis orthogonal to the X-Y plane.
