Planar Leaky-Wave Antennas
Leaky-wave antennas use a traveling wave to radiate continuously along a radiating aperture in order to produce a focused beam of radiation. Planar leaky-wave antennas are particularly attractive since they use simple dielectric layers and/or metallic screens over a grounded substrate layer. A simple source such as a dipole or slot inside the substrate or on the ground plane excites the leaky w...
متن کاملA Novel Two-Beam Scanning Active Leaky-Wave Antenna
A novel two-beam scanning active leaky-wave antenna (LWA) has been developed. This LWA with a two-terminal feeding microstrip line structure is integrated with a varactortuned X-band high-electron mobility transistor (HEMT) voltagecontrolled oscillator (VCO). The signal of the VCO is injected via a T-divider into the radiating element. To excite the first higher order mode, the designed antenna...
متن کاملContinuous leaky-wave scanning using periodically modulated spoof plasmonic waveguide
The plasmonic waveguide made of uniform corrugated metallic strip can support and guide spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs) with high confinements. Here, we propose periodically-modulated plasmonic waveguide composed of non-uniform corrugated metallic strip to convert SSPPs to radiating waves, in which the main beam of radiations can steer continuously as the frequency changes. To increase...
متن کاملPolarizing beam-splitter based on defective photonic crystals
The performance of a polarizing beam splitter based on the one-dimensional photonic crystals (1D-PCs), is theoretically investigated. The polarizing beam splitter consists of a symmetric stack of the low-index quarter-wave plates and the high-index half-wave plates with a central defect layer of air. The linear transmission properties of the polarizing beam splitter are numerically simulat...
متن کاملDispersion Engineered Metamaterial-Based Conformal Leaky-Wave Antennas
In this paper, novel dispersion engineered conformal metamaterial-based leaky-wave antennas (LWA) based on composite right/left-handed (CRLH) concept are being reviewed. As a planar CRLH LWA is conformed on a curved surface, the radiation characteristics of LWA is distorted. The effect of conformation on a CRLH LWA is investigated. A dispersion engineering method is presented to compensate for ...
