    Title: Emerging Leaky-Wave Antenna Technologies for Wireless Systems

    Abstract:
    In the diverse and colorful electromagnetic radiation world, leaky-wave antenna (LWA), as a special kind of guiding structures characterized by both wave guidance and wave radiation, has received much attention since its inception in 1940s, thanks to its many appealing features such as high directivity, narrow directive beam, easy feeding mechanism, simple configuration, and particular frequency-driven beam-scanning (or space-frequency mapping) capability. Recent mainstream academic and industrial activities in this connection are well manifested in the development of various kinds of LWAs featuring multifarious functionalities/electrical characteristics and the exploration of possible system-level applications. This talk presents several emerging concepts and techniques to develop a series of LWAs with elegant functionalities and electrical behaviors. Besides, this presentation also discusses a possible antenna front-end solution enabling LWAs to be used for wideband operation in radar sensing systems.
