    Goubau-Line Leaky-Wave Antenna for Wide-Angle Beam Scanning from Backfire to Endfire
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Rudramuni, R.; Kandasamy, K.; Zhang, Q.; Tang, X.-L.; Kandwal, A.; Tharehalli Rajanna, T.R.; Liu, H.
    A Goubau-line leaky-wave antenna (LWA) with a large scanning angle is presented in this letter. In contrast to the conventional Goubau-line leaky wave with a small scanning angle range, this letter employed a periodically bending Goubau line, which not only brings in a periodic perturbation for leaky-wave radiation, but also enhances the scanning range due to the increased delay for each line element. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed LWA provides 90 radiation efficiency and 7-10 dBi radiation gain from backfire to endfire through broadside as frequency changes. The proposed antenna features good radiation performance and has a compact and low-profile configuration. © 2011 IEEE.

    Compact triband circularly polarized planar slot antenna loaded with split ring resonators
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc. P.O.Box 18667 Newark NJ 07191-8667, 2019) Tharehalli Rajanna, P.K.T.; Rudramuni, K.; Kandasamy, K.
    In this article, a coplanar waveguide (CPW) fed triband circularly polarized (CP) planar slot antenna loaded with split ring resonators (SRRs) is presented. The truncated slot antenna resonates at 4.15 GHz, which gives two orthogonal degenerate modes to produce circular polarization at the first band. The second and third band resonances are achieved at 4.77 GHz and 5.1 GHz respectively due to the loading of SRRs on the slot antenna. The electric fields produced by the single and multiple split gaps in each ring of SRR1 and SRR2 produce CP at the second and third band. All three bands are tuned independently to achieve optimized axial ratio bandwidth. The antenna is fabricated and verified experimentally. The measured results give impedance bandwidth of 64.54% and axial ratio bandwidths of 11.76%, 1.9%, and 3.87% at first, second, and third band, respectively. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
