Abstract
An electronically scanned antenna comprising a travelling wave guiding structure having a bottom conductor and a top conductor developing each along a first direction, the top conductor comprising a plurality of first conductive patches arranged periodically along said first direction and connected in series by tuning circuits; the electronically scanned antenna further comprising a plurality of amplifiers arranged for compensating resistive and radiation losses along the length of the travelling wave guiding structure.

An electronically scanned antenna comprising:
- a travelling wave guiding structure having a bottom conductor and a top conductor developing each along a first direction, the top conductor comprising a plurality of first conductive patches arranged periodically along said first direction and connected in series by tuning circuits for electronically changing a radiation angle of the electronically scanned antenna;
- the electronically scanned antenna further comprising a plurality of amplifiers arranged for compensating resistive and radiation losses along the length of the travelling wave guiding structure.
