Advances in electronically reconfigurable LWAs in Fabry-Pérot and SIW technologies

This paper gives an overview of our most recent research results on reconfigurable leaky-wave antennas (LWAs), which have been developed at Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena (Spain) and CSIRO ICT Centre (Australia). Fabry-Pérot and Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) technologies are studied to propose new reconfigurable leaky-wave topologies for beamforming applications.
