Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this work, a design approach to enhance the bandwidth, broadside radiation, and beam steering capability of a leaky-wave antenna (LWA) is proposed. This approach is based on a filter synthesis technique, and is inspired by the close relationship between a meta-material-based transmission-line and a bandpass filter. The filter synthesis approach is used to design an impedance matching section and determine the circuit element values for a given center frequency and bandwidth. The LWA considered here consists of stepped impedance resonators (SIRs), series capacitors, and shunt inductors. It is shown how the performance can be improved by optimizing the SIR parameters.
