We propose a synthesis technique for half-width microstrip leaky-wave antennas (HWM
LWAs) producing frequency-scanned monopulse patterns with two channels. The election of the
substrate thickness and dielectric constant is of key importance to obtain the desired angular
scanning in the prescribed frequency band, and with high radiation efficiency. Using the two far
advertising channels of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) protocol in the 2.45 GHz band, we
demonstrate that wide and narrow scanning designs can be directly obtained with the proposed
approach, while dispensing from any numerical optimization. It is examined how different
dielectric laminates and antenna sizes are convenient for each design.
