Th4b-4 Complex Leaky Waves of a Partially Open Nonreciprocal Slotline on Gyromagnetic Substrate
نویسندگان
چکیده
The full-wave spectral domain approach is applied to investigate a partially open slotline integrated on multi-dielectric layers containing a femte substrate. When frequency decreases from high frequency to low frequency, the bounded modes start to leak in the form of improper forward leaky waves. Then one of the improper forward leaky waves becomes proper backward leaky wave as frequency decreases again. This constitutes a pair of a forward leaky wave and a backward leaky wave that further interact in the mode-coupling way when frequency further decreases. All the data presented have been verified by examining the transverse electromagnetic field pattems.

Surface and Leaky Modes of Multilayered Omega Structures
The omega or pseudochiral medium is an artificial complex medium [1], which can be fabricated by doping a host isotropic medium with Ω-shaped planar conducting microstructures. An externally applied field induces both an electric and magnetic polarization, which are perpendicular to each other. The electromagnetic properties of these magnetoelectric media can be used in the design of reciprocal...
متن کاملTheoretical Investigation on Propagation and Coupling of Nonreciprocal Electromagnetic Surface Waves
Electromagnetic wave propagation is usually reciprocal. However, in magneto-optical or gyromagnetic media, the propagation can be nonreciprocal. This effect has contributed to many important components in telecommunication systems, such as isolators and circulators. Recently, it has even been demonstrated that on the surface of magneto-optical or gyromagnetic media, electromagnetic waves can pr...
متن کاملModes on a Conductor-backed Slotline
This paper reports on an experimental investigation of modes propagating along a conductor-backed slotline: the dominant mode, and the surface leaky mode. The measurement and the numerical experiments performed in the CST Microwave Studio verify theoretical findings of modes obtained by the method of moments applied in the spectral domain. The dispersion characteristic of the dominant mode on t...
متن کاملPlanar Leaky-Wave Antennas
Leaky-wave antennas use a traveling wave to radiate continuously along a radiating aperture in order to produce a focused beam of radiation. Planar leaky-wave antennas are particularly attractive since they use simple dielectric layers and/or metallic screens over a grounded substrate layer. A simple source such as a dipole or slot inside the substrate or on the ground plane excites the leaky w...
متن کاملNonreciprocal and magnetically scanned miniaturized leaky-wave antennas using coupled transmission lines
This paper presents a new class of magnetically scanned leaky wave antennas (LWAs), incorporating ferrite (or possibly magnetoelectric composite), for wide angle beamsteering. Using the ferrite’s tunable permeability beamsteering is achieved by controlling the external bias field. This is unlike most leaky-wave antennas requiring frequency modulation to steer the beam. Our first design is based...
