A wideband microstrip leaky-wave antenna comprising a substrate with a cavity, a microstrip line located on a first surface of the substrate and a conductive plate located on a second surface of substrate opposite to the first surface. Using the cavity between the microstrip line and the conductive plate can reduce the effective dielectric constant of the substrate and further increase the bandwidth of the antenna. In addition, the microstrip line also can be located in the cavity. In this case, there is no dielectric material between the microstrip line and the conductive plate.
