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 Slot coupled dual band high gain circularly polarized metasurface antenna(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2022) Tharehalli Rajanna, P.K.; Rudramuni, K.; Kandasamy, K.This article presents a slot coupled dual-band metasurface (MTS) based antenna with high gain and circular polarization characteristics. The MTS consists of two different unit cells, which give rise to two operating bands. The metasurface is excited by the slot aperture fed by a 50 Ω microstrip feed-line. The circular polarization is achieved by the diagonally oriented rectangular patch-based unit cells on top of the square substrate. Two orthogonal modes of MTS are required to produce circularly polarized waves, and these modes are excited by the slot aperture. The proposed MTS-inspired antenna is fabricated and experimentally validated. The experimentally verified impedance bandwidth of 33.71% in the lower frequency band and 5.35% in the upper-frequency band is achieved. The measured 3 dB (AR <3 dB)axial ratio bandwidth of 6.22% and 0.98% with a peak gain of 8.89 and 6.32 dBic is achieved with respect to 4.8 and 6.4 GHz resonant frequencies. © 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
