  4. Abstract:
  5. In this paper, a novel travelling-wave printed Frequency Scanning Antenna (FSA), which can be used for imaging purposes, is proposed. All sample designs scan the space symmetrically about the broadside direction. For different scanning ranges, two low profile antennas are designed on a 6.6 mils thick Rogers 4350 board substrate layer. Impedance bandwidth of the first one covers 6.5GHz, from 29.5GHz to 36GHz, and this antenna scans 56° in angular space. The second antenna has 5.6GHz bandwidth from 30.6GHz to 36.2GHz, and scans 98° in angular space by means of switching the input port. The average gain and the Side-lobe level (SLL) of the first and the second antennas are 11.46dBi, 12.8dB, and 10.5dBi, 12.5dB, respectively. © 2016 IEEE
