Structures of open type based on gyrotropic substrates have shown interesting nonreciprocal radiation characteristics, recently investigated in terms of leaky waves. This subject is studied further in this work, on the basis of accurate theoretical procedures. Our attention is particularly focused on the identification and the interpretation of original forward-backward beam-scanning properties due to isotropic current sources. The contributions to the radiation of excitable proper (or spectral) leaky waves, till now quite disregarded in such type of open structures, is emphasized and discussed as concerns its physical meaning. This analysis makes it possible a quite simple, complete, and effective interpretation of the radiative features in devices that may find application as unconventional antennas.

Abstract
Structures of open type based on gyrotropic substrates have shown interesting nonreciprocal radiation characteristics, recently investigated in terms of leaky waves. This subject is studied further in this work, on the basis of accurate theoretical procedures. Our attention is particularly focused on the identification and the interpretation of original forward-backward beam-scanning properties due to isotropic current sources. The contributions to the radiation of excitable proper (or spectral) leaky waves, till now quite disregarded in such type of open structures, is emphasized and discussed as concerns its physical meaning. This analysis makes it possible a quite simple, complete, and effective interpretation of the radiative features in devices that may find application as unconventional antennas.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
