Abstract
A novel structure is proposed for the dual-band self-diplexing integration of microstrip line and leaky wave antenna (LWA). Through introducing a mode selective transmission line (MSTL) to the antenna, the autonomous transition between transmission modes at varying operating frequencies is thus achieved. At the high-frequency band, such proposed antenna in the quasi-TE10 mode, the periodic slots, and patches are used as LWA. Meanwhile, at the low-frequency band, the baseband signal with quasi-TEM mode can be transmitted effectively. These experimental results demonstrate that this design strategy benefits the realization of transmission with an insertion loss of less than 3 dB below 5.5 GHz. Furthermore, this antenna enables continuous beam scanning of −1 space harmonics from 10.5 to 15.5 GHz, with a beam direction sweeping from −75° to + 54°. This study innovatively employs MSTL structure to solve the problem of radio frequency (RF) and baseband links operating independently in traditional communication systems. It provides a promising solution for multi-functional integrated applications in future wireless communications.
