Abstract
- A hybrid composite right/left handed (CRLH) structure based leaky‐wave antenna with continuous wide beam scanning is proposed in this article. Six series‐wound periodic units, combining spoof surface plasmon polariton (SSPP) with CRLH, form the radiating portion of proposed antenna. The unit is connected to the ground with metal hole, which provides the equivalent parallel inductance, and the unit is separated from its adjacent unit at prescheduled intervals, which provides the equivalent series capacitance. Additionally, the unit operates at balanced state and the open stopband is obviously suppressed. Dispersion diagram is also used to analyze this continuous scanning. A prototype of proposed antenna is fabricated and measured. The main beam of the antenna scans continuously from −70° to +40° in the range from 5.2 to 8.8 GHz. The antenna radiation efficiency reaches a maximum of 92% in the working band. Measurement results agree quite well with the simulation, which indicate this leaky wave antenna can find potential applications in communication systems and radars. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
