Their introduction has spurred the creation of innovative circuits with enhance d components. One notable metamaterial-based design is the composite right /left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL) leaky-wave antennas (LWAs). These antennas offer continuous frequency-dependent beam scanning from backfire to endfire with a true broadside beam. They also ensure excellent impedan ce matching throughout their operational range\, using a straightforward f eeding mechanism. The CRLH LWAs’ ability to map frequency to space means unknown target locations can simply be pinpointed by analyzing the spectr al components of the returning wave. This paves the way for real-time dete ction\, with data acquisition speeds mainly determined by the signal sourc e’s frequency sweep rate. The sensor’s field-of-view is also expanded thanks to the wide scanning angle of CRLH LWAs. Such features enable appli cations like swift 2-D beamforming\, expansive real-time remote sensing\, vital sign monitoring\, motion detection\, and microwave imaging. Addition ally\, applying spatiotemporal modulation to CRLH LWAs can generate harmon ic waves and enhance physical layer security\, promoting safer wireless co mmunication.\n\nSpeaker Bio:\n\nDr. Chung-Tse Michael Wu’s research inte rests span applied electromagnetics\, antennas\, passive and active microw ave and millimeter-wave components\, MMIC\, RF systems\, and metamaterials .
