Abstract

This paper introduces an analytical solution for a dielectric rod leaky wave antenna loaded by a metasurface. The advantage of adding metasurface on the dielectric rod is that it introduces an additional degree of freedom in the design of this antenna by controlling the outer boundary condition. Modified Generalized Sheet Transition Condition on a cylindrical geometry is used to model the metasurface on the dielectric rod. The analysis is based on developing the characteristic equation of the proposed structure. This characteristic equation is used to obtain the complex propagation constant of this structure and the corresponding field distribution inside and outside the rod including the resulting radiated fields. Parameters of the metasurface are extracted from the reflection and transmission properties of its elements in infinite periodic structure. An example of a dielectric rod loaded by a metasurface is presented analytically based on the introduced analysis and also simulated numerically for comparison. The effect of different polarizabilities of the loading metasurface on the leaky wave properties of the dielectric rod is discussed.
