Radio frequency device with feed structure

摘要

A radio frequency (RF) device includes an RF transmission line structure having opposing boundary walls with a non-rectilinear form factor, and a feed structure configured to introduce RF energy into an area between the opposing boundary walls to illuminate the RF transmission line structure with the RF energy across the non-rectilinear form factor. The feed structure includes a plurality of traveling-waveguide-fed leaky line-segment structures, each configured to launch the RF energy into the area with a propagation direction having an oblique angle relative to an axis of the line-segment structure.
