T heir introduction has spurred the creation of innovative circuits with enh anced components. One notable metamaterial-based design is the composite r ight/left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL) leaky-wave antennas (LWAs). T hese antennas offer continuous frequency-dependent beam scanning from back fire to endfire with a true broadside beam. They also ensure excellent imp edance matching throughout their operational range\, using a straightforwa rd feeding mechanism. The CRLH LWAs’ ability to map frequency to space m eans unknown target locations can simply be pinpointed by analyzing the sp ectral components of the returning wave. This paves the way for real-time detection\, with data acquisition speeds mainly determined by the signal s ource’s frequency sweep rate. The sensor’s field-of-view is also expan ded thanks to the wide scanning angle of CRLH LWAs. Such features enable a pplications like swift 2-D beamforming\, expansive real-time remote sensin g\, vital sign monitoring\, motion detection\, and microwave imaging. Addi tionally\, applying spatiotemporal modulation to CRLH LWAs can generate ha rmonic waves and enhance physical layer security\, promoting safer wireles s communication.\n\n​Speaker Bio:\nDr. Chung-Tse Michael Wu’s research interests span applied electromagnetics\, antennas\, passive and active m icrowave and millimeter-wave components\, monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs)\, RF systems\, and metamaterials.
