This work aims to present the development of a holographic artificial impedance antenna (HAIA) for potential applications in satellite systems in the X (8 - 12 GHz) and Ku (12 - 18 GHz) bands, as well as in the frequency of terahertz. As a proof of concept, the prototype is created to operate in the K (18 - 27 GHz) band, specifically at the design frequency of 18.4 GHz. HAIA is a kind of leaky-wave antenna (LWA) with a unique operating principle for controlled beam radiation. Due to their radiation characteristics are broad, and the degree of design freedom allows us to explore the antenna performance, different parameters are studied for modeling. The antenna design obeys the established theory for the leaky-wave radiation in the conversion of a surface wave into a leaky-wave, where an artificial impedance surface (AIS) is characterized and distributed on a dielectric substrate using the holographic principle developed in the optical system. In order to minimize the dimensions of the HAIA, a planar surface wave launcher is studied and compared with the performance of conventional surface wave feeding used in this type of structure. A series of designs are evaluated for the conclusion of the best result and compared with other works. The final prototype is manufactured for experimental tests, where the results show that the designed antenna responds to the modeled characteristics with a good agreement between the simulated and measured results.
