Design of a Novel Dual-Beam Scanning Leaky-Wave AntennaAbstract
In this article, a novel dual-beam scanning leaky-wave antenna is proposed and investigated. Antenna parameters, such as return loss, radiation patterns, gain, efficiency and scanning angles, are provided and discussed. Besides its low profile and miniaturized size, the proposed antenna can realize dual-beam scanning and quasi-omnidirectional radiation. Moreover, it provides much design flexibility for real applications. Different simulation software are adopted to verify the accuracy of our design.
