Leaky Wave Antenna Realization by Compos- Ite Right/left-handed Transmission Line
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a realization of composite right/left handed transmission lines using coupled microstrip lines. This structure exploits the advantages of the microstrip lines, while increases the coupling by a floating conductor at the ground plane. The performance of this composite right/left-handed line is demonstrated by both simulated and measured results, and they show good agreement. The designed line has broad bandwidth with low losses and small size. A novel dominant mode leaky wave antenna design, using the previous structure, is presented with backward to forward scanning capability.

Design of Miniaturized Dominant Mode Leaky-Wave Antenna with Backfire-to-Endfire Scanning Capability by using Metamaterials
A new miniaturized dominant mode leaky-wave antenna is proposed. This antenna is a transmission line structure with radiating wavenumber increasing from negative to positive values, providing backward to forward scanning capability as frequency is increased. The antenna profile is designed based on microstrip technology using balanced composite right left handed transmission lines (CRLH TL) app...
متن کاملImproved Composite Right/left-handed Cell for Leaky-wave Antenna
An improved composite right/left-handed (CRLH) unit cell optimized for a leaky-wave (LW) antenna is presented. This CRLH cell consists of a series of one transmission line, an interdigital capacitor, another transmission line and a shunt shorted stub. Introducing the transmission lines, the parasitic self-resonances of the capacitor are shifted outside the operational band, the radiation range ...

The propagation and radiation properties of dual composite right/left-handed (D-CRLH) transmission line metamaterials are presented, and validated experimentally with a 1D microstrip prototype. In its fast-wave regime, this structure operates as a leaky-wave antenna capable of backfire-to-endfire radiation scanning with beam squinting smaller than that of conventional CRLH (C-CRLH) antennas. It...

A leaky wave antenna (LWA) using composite right/left-handed (CRLH) transmission line (TL) composed of ladder network has been investigated [1]. The effect of transmission line length and height on the gain and bandwidth is clarified in [1]. In order to increase the gain of the LWA, mushroom-shaped unit cell has been investigated in [2]. Chip capacitance is used for series capacitance. The band...
