A novel fixed frequency beam scanning microstrip leaky wave antenna is reported. The beam scanning at fixed frequency is achieved by reactive loading. Simulation and measured results shows frequency scanability of 80° as well as fixed frequency beam steering of 68° over the −10 dB impedance band of 4.56–5.06 GHz © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
