Abstract

With the fine feature of frequency scanning, leaky wave antennas (LWAs) have been widely used in wireless communication systems. However, traditional LWAs are difficult to realize endfire radiation, which limits beam-scanning range. Recently, Spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs) have attracted widespread attention due to characteristics including high confinement and dispersion controllability. Microwave components and antennas based on SSPPs have been extensively investigated for various applications. In this work, we propose an integrated broadside and endfire antenna based on SSPPs. This antenna achieves a wide switch angle by changing radiation patterns. By controlling the phase difference of feedlines, the current distribution on radiation structure can be regulated. As a result, odd or even mode can be excited on the modulated SSPPs metallic structure, leading to the switch of radiation patten between frequency scanning toward broadside and endfire. We believe that the proposed antenna has potential applications in wireless communication systems.
