The invention discloses a substrate integrated ridge waveguide slot array broadband leaky-wave antenna which is of a symmetrical structure about an H surface. The substrate integrated ridge waveguide slot array broadband leaky-wave antenna comprises a substrate integrated waveguide and a ridge metal layer, wherein the substrate integrated waveguide comprises a lower metal layer, a lower dielectric plate, an upper dielectric plate and an upper metal layer; the lower metal layer, the lower dielectric plate, the ridge metal layer, the upper dielectric plate and the upper metal layer are overlapped in sequence; a row of side via holes is formed in each side of the ridge metal layer, and the side via holes pass through the lower metal layer, the lower dielectric plate, the upper dielectric plate and the upper metal layer in sequence; a row of middle via holes is further formed in the center line of the ridge metal layer in the length direction, and the middle via holes pass through the lower metal layer, the lower dielectric plate and the ridge metal layer (3) in sequence; the antenna can realize frequency scanning of 28 degrees to 84 degrees on the H surface, and the impedance bandwidth can reach 38%; and meanwhile, the antenna has the prominent advantages of being high in gain, low in minor lobe level, easy to machine and integrate and the like.
