Reconfigurable half-width microstrip leaky-wave antenna for fixed-frequency beam scanning
Debabrata K. Karmokar,D. N. P. Thalakotuna,Karu P. Esselle,Ladislau Matekovits,Michael Heimlich +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a fixed-frequency beam scanning using a half-width microstrip leaky-wave antenna (HW-MLWA) is presented, where the main beam direction is electronically controlled by changing the reactance between the one edge of a microstrip and the ground.

Continuous Backward-to-Forward Scanning 1-D Slot-Array Leaky-Wave Antenna With Improved Gain
Debabrata K. Karmokar,Shu-Lin Chen,D. N. P. Thalakotuna,Pei-Yuan Qin,Trevor S. Bird,Y. Jay Guo +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a leaky-wave antenna (LWA) on a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) with continuous beam-scanning capabilities and improved gain is presented, where a one-dimensional (1-D) longitudinal slot-array SIW antenna is used as the main radiating element.

Cloaked low band elements for multiband radiating arrays
TL;DR: In this article, a multiband antenna, having a reflector, and a first array of first radiating elements having a first operational frequency band, the first radii being a plurality of dipole arms, each dipole arm including the plurality of conductive segments coupled in series by a pluralityof inductive elements, was presented.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Controlling the beam scanning limits of a microstrip leaky-wave antenna
TL;DR: In this paper, an electronically controlled half-width microstrip leaky-wave antenna (HW-MLWA) that can scan the main beam at a fixed frequency is presented, and a technique is described to change the upper and lower limits of the beam direction without changing the scanning range itself.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Review on 5G Sub-6 GHz Base Station Antenna Design Challenges
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a classification of challenges in BSA design and a cohesive list of design techniques adopted in the literature to overcome such challenges, including coupling between arrays, return loss and port-to-port isolations.
