| Since the advent of the metamaterial concepts, novel waveguides showing a composite right/left-handed (CRLH) behavior have arisen. As a consequence, a new generation of slot array antennas is emerging. These antennas, whose slots are supported and feeded by a CRLH waveguide, are new featured in the sense that their radiation capabilities are clearly enhanced with respect their classic counterpart. The object of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, to present the new design approach that is needed when using the CRLH waveguide technology to built array antennas. On the other hand, to highlight the backward-to-forward beam steering and broad-band far-field performance of an antenna of the kind. To that end, a slot array antenna has been designed, built and measured. The simulations and measurements are in excellent agreement, confirming not only the new radiation possibilities offered, but also the validity of the design procedure used. | |
