“…Also, the antenna scan is restricted in the lower half‐space and upper half‐space region only with poor cross‐polarization level. In Reference , authors have used two 45° inclined interdigital slots on two different leaky‐wave radiators to achieve the polarization flexibility. In References , many spoof plasmon polariton and Goubau line‐based LWAs have been reported but all of them operate in a single band.…”

“…In Reference , conventional CRLH transmission line‐based dual‐band and triple‐band LWAs have been reported where the “U”‐shaped slots have been etched from the top conductor of the conventional SIW structure. But unfortunately, all of these antennas generally operate with either LP or CP mode . So, it still remains as a challenge for the antenna designers to design a compact dual‐band dual‐polarized LWA which can scan in both the forward and backward direction with respect to the broadside with good gain and efficiency.…”

“…In our proposed work, an attempt is made to design a dual‐band dual‐polarized LWA with CP diversity application, where a combination of the mutually rotated spiral‐shaped slot is etched on the half‐width MLWA which can produce both right‐hand circular polarization (RHCP) and left‐hand circular polarization (LHCP) waves in the higher frequency band along with the LP in the lower operating band. Unlike References , the proposed antenna does not use any extra feed elements and uses only a single radiator to generate the LHCP or RHCP radiation. In Reference , the higher band exhibits only LHCP polarization but the proposed antenna can be used for both the LHCP and RHCP polarization‐flexible operations along with the LP polarization in the lower band with, scan in both the forward and backward direction and produce good realized gain and radiation efficiency over both the operating bands.…”

In this paper, a novel dual‐band dual‐polarized leaky‐wave antenna (LWA) with polarization diversity is proposed using half mode substrate‐integrated waveguide (HMSIW)‐based technology. HMSIW LWAs are generally single band. In this work, by etching simple spiral type slots on the HMSIW cavity, a novel dual‐band dual‐polarized LWA is designed. The proposed antenna resonates at 5.6 and 8.5 GHz. Moreover, the antenna radiates the linearly polarized wave in the lower band and circularly polarized (CP) wave in the higher operating band. Also, in the higher operating band between 8.7 and 9.3 GHz, the proposed overall antenna exhibits both right‐hand circular polarization as well as the left‐hand circular polarization in the near main beam direction. The −10 dB impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna at the lower and the higher operating bands are 27% (4.86‐6.4 GHz) and 25% (7.4‐9.6 GHz), respectively. In the higher band, the 3‐dB axial ratio bandwidth of 6.6% (8.7‐9.3 GHz) is achieved. The main beam of the antenna can be steered from 19° to 69° in the forward direction in the lower operating band. In the higher operating band, the antenna can steer the CP beam between −17° and −32°. In both the lower bands, the realized peak gain is observed around 13.3 dBi, whereas in the higher band, the realized peak gain is observed around 14 dBi.

“…In recent years, with the attractive advantages such as low profile, compact structure, wide frequency band, frequency beam scanning characteristics and easiness of integration with planar circuits, scientists and researchers have paid much attention to planar leaky-wave antennas (LWAs) [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. By leaking electromagnetic energy along the structure, the radiated beams of LWAs can scan in the space as frequency changes [2].…”

“…Typical frequency-scanning antenna arrays operate based on two basic mechanisms: one is the radiating function, and the other is the frequency-dependent phase shifter function [7,[13][14][15][16][17]. Because the phase adjustment can be realized through the change of frequency, the radiated beams can scan in the space as frequency changes [2].…”

Abstract-Leaky-wave radiations are usually generated by leaking the electromagnetic energy gradually over a structure. By using the coupling effect and leaky-wave properties, this paper designs a novel 1-D frequency scanning antenna array. The antenna is intended for the direct imaging radar sensors. The simulated results show that the scanning angle can stay in the range from −60 • to 30 • . The proposed 1-D antenna array was manufactured, and the measured results are consistent with the simulated ones.

miniaturization of devices. In 2013, Shen et al. proposed a planar SPP waveguide with ultrathin and flexible properties. [9] Subsequently, nearly perfect conversions from spatial to SPP modes are introduced to realize high-efficiency transmissions of spoof SPPs. [10] Spoof SPPs not only possess the property of natural SPPs with field enhancement but also have their advantages, including low loss, low crosstalk, easy integration, and miniaturization. The electromagnetism physical properties of the spoof SPP device can be designed by tuning geometrical parameters. Thus, a large number of passive devices based on spoof SPPs have been reported utilizing the advantage of spoof SPP waveguide, such as filters, couplers, power dividers, and antennas. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Additionally, the hybrid circuits based on substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) and spoof SPP waveguide have been reported because SIW has some advantages of the significant reduction in cost, loss and radiation, and easy integration. [22,23] For passive metamaterials, their functionalities are fixed after the fabrication, which severely limits the practical values. To freely control EM waves, digital coding and programmable metamaterials are adopted in microwave frequency. [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] Recently, the concepts of reconfigurable and programmable of spoof plasmonic metamaterials have been proposed. Based on the reconfigurable spoof SPPs, some devices with adjustable frequency and nonlinear phenomena are realized. [32][33][34][35][36][37] Further than that, three different digital-analog functionalities can be realized by coding representation in a simple programmable system, [38] and a dual-channel spoof SPP logic "AND" gate was proposed by programming controlled of multiple modes of spoof SPPs. [39] In this work, a three-port programmable hybrid circuit is proposed and investigated, which consists of two spoof SPP waveguides loaded with the varactor diodes and the SIW. By manipulating the dispersion behaviors, EM waves only can propagate with operating frequencies lower than the cutoff frequency of the SPP waveguide but higher than that of SIW. The proposed three-port waveguide can realize the functionalities of the power division and the filtering around X-band, even Ku-band, while the corresponding transmission for the power division is around −4 dB in whole operating frequency bands. Besides, a logic "OR" gate with 2-bit coding can also A programmable hybrid circuit is proposed, which is composed of two reconfigurable spoof surface plasmon polariton (SPP) waveguides loaded with varactor diodes and a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW). By manipulating their dispersion behaviors, the band-pass effect is achieved in the hybrid circuit, in which the upper and lower cutoff frequencies are determined by the SPP waveguide and SIW, respectively. When two SPP waveguides are configured to have the same cutoff frequency that is higher than the SIW's cutoff, the proposed circuit can realize a power division; when one SP...
