This paper presents the design and demonstration of linearly-polarized and circularly-polarized transmit-arrays operating in the 60-GHz band. The arrays are fabricated with standard printed-board technology and are designed with a fairly simple structure using three metal layers. The experimental results show very good performances for both...
We describe here an optimization procedure to shape the radiation pattern of planar two-dimensional (2-D) leaky-wave antennas. The structures under investigation are superstrate configurations made by partially reflecting screens (impedances sheets) over a ground plane and excited by open-ended waveguides. The antenna configuration providing...
Several linearly-polarized and circularly-polarized transmit-arrays are designed and demonstrated in the 60-GHz band. These arrays have a fairly simple structure with three metal layers and are fabricated with a standard printed-circuit board technology. The simulation method is based on an electromagnetic model of the focal source and the...

This paper presents the detailed experimental characterization of X-band 400-element transmitarray antennas in dual linear polarization. The latter can radiate two different and independent beams in two distinct directions with orthogonal polarizations. Two prototypes are designed and fabricated at 10 GHz; one with two beams radiating at...
We present a photonic transmitter at E-band for beam switching in mm-wave wireless links. First, we discuss the trade-offs between beam switching and beam steering with arrays of photonic transmitters. Then, the designed transmitter is presented; it includes two 2×2 sub-arrays of stacked patches fed independently by two...
This manuscript reports the first leaky-wave antenna (LWA) array excited by a photomixer as well as its potential application for alignment in wireless links. The designed array is manufactured in printed circuit board (PCB) technology, works at the E-band (from 75 to 85 GHz), and provides a directive beam of about 18 dBi with a frequency...
