Wearable Fabry-Pérot Antenna

A wearable version of Fabry-Pérot antenna is presented. This is a simple way of designing a medium-To high-gain antenna with low back radiation. The study of the effect of antenna bending in the performances is presented. Besides, the replacement of a superstrate layer by a metallic frequency selective surface is proposed. In this way, there...

Leaky-Wave Thinned Phased Array in PCB Technology for Telecommunication Applications

We present a practical implementation of a leaky-wave thinned phased array in printed circuit board (PCB) technology. In this paper, we demonstrate that a reduction of the grating lobes, and therefore an improved gain in a thinned phased array, with respect to standard solutions, is achieved by virtue of the angular filtering introduced by a...
