Abstract
A pattern reconfigurable millimeter-wave coplanar waveguide leaky-wave antenna is designed by using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method combined with Floquet's theorem and the simple linear interpolation technique. The concept of equivalent period is presented for mixed-periodic structures. The novel design process results in a reduction in the design time compared with that of the traditional FDTD method.Keywords
