Abstract
In this paper, a novel travelling-wave printed Frequency Scanning Antenna (FSA), which can be used for imaging purposes, is proposed. All sample designs scan the space symmetrically about the broadside direction. For different scanning ranges, two low profile antennas are designed on a 6.6 mils thick Rogers 4350 board substrate layer. Impedance bandwidth of the first one covers 6.5GHz, from 29.5GHz to 36GHz, and this antenna scans 56° in angular space. The second antenna has 5.6GHz bandwidth from 30.6GHz to 36.2GHz, and scans 98° in angular space by means of switching the input port. The average gain and the Side-lobe level (SLL) of the first and the second antennas are 11.46dBi, 12.8dB, and...

Abstract
we propose a graphene-covered subwavelength metallic grating where the Fermi level of graphene is sinusoidally modulated as a leaky-wave antenna at terahertz frequencies. This structure can convert spoof surface plasmon guided waves to free-space radiation due to the tunability of graphene. Analysis and design of the proposed leaky-wave antenna are discussed based on sinusoidally modulated surface impedance. The surface impedance is obtained by an analytical circuit model. The sinusoidal surface impedance is realized using modulation of the conductivity of graphene by applying a bias voltage. The proposed leaky-wave antenna is capable of electronic beam scanning with an almost constant gain...
