In this work we present a leaky wave antenna (LWA) radiating in circular polarization (CP) by means of a broadband multilayered polarizer. The polarizer is designed independently of the LWA antenna without affecting its behaviour. The achieved axial ratio (AR) is kept below 2 dB within a bandwidth of 31% ranging from 26.7GHz to 35.5GHz. All results are verified via full-wave simulations over an angular variation of ±41 deg. © 2016 IEEE.
