Compact CRLH-SIW Based LWA Array with Periodical Loading for Ku-Band Applications

Progress In Electromagnetics Research Letters, Vol. 108, 59-64, 2023
Abstract
A novel compact composite right/left-handed (CRLH) substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) based leaky wave antenna (LWA) is proposed. Mushroom-inspired unit cell is utilized to achieve CRLH transmission property as well as energy leakage. Periodically loaded metallic vias, which act as an internal 1:2 power divider, are along the center line of the SIW structure, leading to a compact antenna size. The LWA can be regarded as an antenna array whose two elements are excited by two newly produced quasi-TE10 modes, respectively, and therefore, the antenna peak gains are enhanced. Good agreements are obtained between the simulated and measured results. Continuous beam scanning feature indicates that the proposed design is a balanced frequency scanning work operating in Ku-band.
