Leaky-wave antenna (LWA) based on planar waveguide technology (substrate integrated waveguide) is designed using periodic loading of a new type of rectangular slot combination that is capable of beam scanning angle enhancement through broadside. This proposed compact leaky-wave antenna shows high impedance bandwidth of 37% and directive beam scanning in the leaky (fast) wave region (n = −;1) over the frequency band of 8.84 GHz to 12.9 GHz. The open stopband (OSB) problem is eliminated by combining four T-shape slots and rotating at +45° and −45° with respect to the longitudinal axis of the antenna for getting a better impedance matching. The scanning beam position changes from −74° to +15° while the frequency sweep from 8.84 GHz to 12.9 GHz, the return loss of the antenna is seen to be below −;10 dB for the complete frequency band, with a minimum value of −;50 dB. The characteristics of the designed prototype in the form of scattering parameters, radiation pattern, and gain are given.","PeriodicalId":201547,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Indian Conference on Antennas and Propagation (InCAP)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114671263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The radiating ring aperture is backed by a cavity that is fed by an aperture coupled microstrip line. H-shaped slots are used for coupling the microstrip line to the cavity due to their small size compared to a simple rectangular slot. Tapered gradient has been used in the H- shaped slots to increase the bandwidth and reduce the cross polar level. The proposed antenna uses a single radiating surface for dual band operation which makes the antenna low profile. A dual port slot coupled arrangement for both the bands poses several challenges thus a tightly packed arrangement of vias around the central aperture is used to improve the coupling between the two bands. The bandwidth achieved at K and Ka band are, 18.06% and 13.9% respectively, minimum element gain across the bands is 6.73 dBi and 5.15 dBi, minimum cross polarization levels are 26.9 dB and 32 dB with a small element of size $9times 9$ mm. The proposed antenna can be used as an element of an array for satcom application.","PeriodicalId":201547,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Indian Conference on Antennas and Propagation (InCAP)","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116985017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The frequency tuning is achieved by using four pin diodes which are placed at appropriate positions on the parasitic rectangular loop. By switching the diodes (ON/OFF) three bands from 2.7 - 3.1 GHz, 3 - 3.5 GHz and 3.5 - 4.5 GHz are obtained.
