Abstract
In this paper, we propose distributed amplifiers based CRLH-transmission line leaky wave antennas with the self-recycling scheme by using a rat-race hybrid coupler. With this power feedback, theoretically the gain can be increased twice as much. Such configuration can be used to enhance the overall antenna efficiency. © 2011 EurAAP.
