Abstract
A waveguide antenna system, includes: an electromagnetic, EM, transition portion having a transition region having a signal feed interface and an open waveguide section, the EM transition portion configured to couple EM energy from the signal feed interface to a guided waveguide mode of EM energy to the open waveguide section via the transition region; and a leaky waveguide antenna portion configured and disposed to radiate electromagnetic energy received from the open waveguide section; wherein the EM transition portion is electromagnetically coupled to the leaky waveguide antenna portion, the EM transition portion being configured to support a transfer of electromagnetic energy from a signal feed structure to the leaky waveguide antenna portion.
