A Frequency-Agile and Wide-Scanning CRLH Leaky-Wave Antenna for Advanced Wireless Systems
This letter presents a wide-angle scanning leaky-wave antenna (LWA) based on composite right-/left-handed metamaterials. The proposed LWA incorporates unit cells with a radiating slot formed by an interdigital capacitor with stepped fingers, interconnected through microstrip delay lines. The innovative radiator design achieves a wide impedance bandwidth of 4 GHz to 6.7 GHz and allows beam steering across a range of −62° to 30°. The antenna demonstrates a peak gain of 10.5 dBi and consistently high radiation efficiency, averaging 72% over the operating range. This high-performance LWA combines a simple design with a compact form factor, offering a cost-effective and easily manufacturable solution. It is specifically optimized for the C-band spectrum and is well-suited for 5G and 6G applications.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters (AWP Letters) is devoted to the rapid electronic publication of short manuscripts in the technical areas of Antennas and Wireless Propagation. These are areas of competence for the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S). AWPL aims to be one of the "fastest" journals among IEEE publications. This means that for papers that are eventually accepted, it is intended that an author may expect his or her paper to appear in IEEE Xplore, on average, around two months after submission.
