Item 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.Item Dual-Band Asymmetric Leaky-Wave Antennas for Circular Polarization and Simultaneous Dual Beam Scanning(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2021) Rudramuni, R.; Majumder, B.; Tharehalli Rajanna, T.R.; Kandasamy, K.; Zhang, Q.In this article, two configurations of novel dual-band half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (HMSIW) leaky-wave antennas are presented. The first proposed antenna radiates linearly polarized (LP) waves in the lower band and circularly polarized waves in the upper band when the unit cells are cascaded sequentially. The second antenna, where the sidewall via of the HMSIW unit cells is connected alternatingly, provides simultaneous dual beams with different polarization in the upper operational band in addition to the LP beam in the lower operational band. The unit cells of the two antennas are analyzed in terms of their dispersion behaviors. Finally, the performance of both the antennas is experimentally verified. © 1963-2012 IEEE.Item Dual Frequency Multi-Functional via-Less Leaky Wave Antenna Featuring Enhanced Frequency Sensitivity and Dual Beam Scanning Capability(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Majumder, B.; Vinnakota, S.S.; Goud Rangula, M.; Kandasamy, K.In this paper we present a dual band low cross-polarized periodic microstrip leaky wave antenna (LWA) based on the multi mode resonator concept (MMR). The structure is capable of frequency dependent backward dual-beam steering and fast forward beam scanning in the upper and lower operating band, respectively. A gap loaded microstrip line is used as a host transmission line to feed the combination of the periodic patch radiators on the top and the bottom etched slots leading to the generation of the forward and the backward space harmonics. The etched ring slots at the bottom surface of the structure are not only responsible for steering the beam in the backward direction in the bottom hemisphere in its upper band but also adds radiation diversity in the overall radiation mechanism in its two operating bands. The potential use of this antenna resides in its ability to produce in-plane fast forward beam steering suitable for autonomous vehicle navigation systems in its lower band and out-of-plane backward-symmetric dual beam steering in the upper operating bands, suitable for tracking in relay systems. © 2013 IEEE.
