ResumeThis paper provides new designs and realizations of leaky-wave (LW) metasurface (MTS) antennas fed at multiple points. The design technique is based on the direct integral-equation solution by the Method of Moments (MoM). The unknown is no longer the current distribution, but the impedance profile itself. The method can be used to generate any shaped radiation pattern in amplitude, phase, and polarization, provided that the antenna area and the feeder illumination are consistent with the shape of the desired radiation pattern. The algorithm can also be used to design multi-functional antennas (multibeam, multiband, dual-polarizion, etc). While multiple feeds are traditionally used to implement multiple fonctionnalities, they may also be required for the efficient generation of a single shaped beam, thus leading to a higher surfacewave (SW) to LWconversion efficiency. The present paper shows for the first time, two realizations of MTS design with the integral equation formalism, which require the usage of multiple feeds: a circularly polarized sectoral conical beam and a dual-polarized broadside beam MTS antenna. The good comparison between measurements and numerical predictions shows the effectiveness of the design method.
