Their introduction has spurred the creation of innovative c ircuits with enhanced components. One notable metamaterial-based design is the composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL) leaky-wave an tennas (LWAs). These antennas offer continuous frequency-dependent beam sc anning from backfire to endfire with a true broadside beam. They also ensu re excellent impedance matching throughout their operational range\, using a straightforward feeding mechanism. The CRLH LWAs’ ability to map freq uency to space means unknown target locations can simply be pinpointed by analyzing the spectral components of the returning wave. This paves the wa y for real-time detection\, with data acquisition speeds mainly determined by the signal source’s frequency sweep rate. The sensor’s field-of-vi ew is also expanded thanks to the wide scanning angle of CRLH LWAs. Such f eatures enable applications like swift 2-D beamforming\, expansive real-ti me remote sensing\, vital sign monitoring\, motion detection\, and microwa ve imaging. Additionally\, applying spatiotemporal modulation to CRLH LWAs can generate harmonic waves and enhance physical layer security\, promoti ng safer wireless communication.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Chung-Tse Michael Wu\n \nAgenda: \n7:00-7:10 PM - Updates on IEEE Atlanta AP/MTT joint-chapter's activities\n\n7:10-8:10 PM - DL with Dr. Chung-Tse Michael Wu presenting: Sensing\, Tracking\, and Secured Communication with Artificial Electromagn etic Materials\n\n8:10-8:30PM - Q/A\, interaction with attendees\, and wra p-up.\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/564644 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/564644 ORGANIZER:csaetia3@gatech.edu SEQUENCE:18 SUMMARY:MTT-S Distinguished Lecture: Sensing\, Tracking\, and Secured Commu nication with Artificial Electromagnetic Materials URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/564644 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>Atlanta's IEEE AP/MTT joint-chapte r is hosting a virtual MTT-S distinguished lecture event on July 20th (Mon .) from 7:00PM-8:30PM EST.
