Abstract

The holographic theory known from optics can also be used to describe the functionality of a special kind of leaky-wave antennas. Within the so-called holographic antenna, a hologram builds the radiating aperture, which is fed by surface-wave modes traveling on thin substrates. The hologram can be described as the interference pattern of the superposition of the traveling surface wave and the radiated plane wave. Therefore, it is possible to control the beam direction and beam shape of the holographic antenna by a modification of the hologram form. Compared to other kinds of leaky-wave antennas, the holographic antennas have also advantages in manufacturing and system integration, which make them to be a very promising antenna type for different millimeter-wave applications, e.g., radar systems.
