Influence of intercell coupling of left-handed leaky wave omni-directional antenna

A slender left-handed leaky wave omni-directional antenna, which is suitable for such small cell, has been proposed. This paper derives the equivalent circuit of the unit cell of the leaky wave omni-directional antenna and derives the intercell coupling matrix for the number of cells required.
