Abstract

The guiding structure commonly employed in leaky-wave antennas is dispersive, resulting in beam-steering with frequency. This behavior reduces operational bandwidth in point-to-point communication applications. In this work, we present an approach that aims at increasing the operational bandwidth of leaky-wave antennas by the employment of a metasurface lens.
