Abstract
The present invention is a microstrip antenna which produces ultrawide band leaky wave radiation. The antenna produces leaky wave radiation, then trs the leaky wave radiation to produce an ultrawide bandwidth. The antenna includes tapered metal patches which taper the radiation. The antenna gives an ultrawide bandwidth performance of greater than a 4:1 ratio.
