Although NRDWG based LWA designs have been demonstrated, these works have focused on coupling a fast wave propagating within the dielectric to a longitudinal slot located at some offset distance from the dielectric which necessitates the fabrication of new metallic parts should the design requirements of the LWA need to be changed. Therefore in this work we show that it is also possible to couple the fast wave directly to free space through a slot cut directly above the dielectric. Furthermore, by leveraging 3-D printing to flexibly taper the complex longitudinal propagation constant, we also show that the same metallic parts can be reused for LWAs with completely different radiation pattern characteristics resulting in a practical LWA design approach with vastly lowered fabrication costs, lead time and design complexity. To validate this concept, we extract the longitudinal propagation constant from a modified transverse equivalent network model of the LWA and compare it against values obtained from full-wave simulations. We then use these extracted values of the propagation constant to design, fabricate and experimentally characterise two one-dimensional (1-D) LWAs with an untapered and tapered amplitude distribution along the aperture to verify the proposed design concept.</p>","PeriodicalId":13374,"journal":{"name":"Iet Microwaves Antennas & Propagation","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ietresearch.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/mia2.70100","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147668272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the optimal design of the communication system, a comprehensive understanding of channel characterisation is crucial, and an accurate channel model requires investigation. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a three-dimensional (3-D) multi-source geometric-based stochastic model (GBSM) for the vacuum tube scenario using leaky coaxial cables (LCX). The electric field distribution of LCX is deduced by equating the periodic slots to multiple magnetic dipole antennas. Based on this, the theoretical models for line-of-sight (LoS) and nonline-of-sight (NLoS) components of channel impulse response (CIR) are derived, respectively. Furthermore, the closed-form expressions of the multi-link spatial-temporal correlation functions, encompassing the spatial cross-correlation function (CCF) and temporal autocorrelation function (ACF), are further derived and examined at 900 and 1800 MHz. The simulation results indicate that in the vactrain scenario, the wireless channel exhibits nonstationary characteristics.
