The fundamental leaky wave propagating in a microstrip array on a dielectric substrate is investigated with a concept of constructive interference. The advantages of the proposed technique over other more rigorous methods are its simplicity and physical insight. Based on such simple analysis, an experimental procedure is introduced for the verification of the existence of the fundamental leaky wave in a microstrip array structure. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
