A Tunable Metagratings Leaky-Wave Antenna Based on Liquid Crystal
= 10 V). The proposed MGs LWA has a realized gain of up to 13.84 dBi. Finally, the proposed antenna has excellent performance due to its potential to achieve wide tunable beam scanning with a narrow beamwidth compared to traditional LWAs' limitation of radiation angle, depending on the excitation frequency, which makes the proposed antenna suitable in terms of range and sensing calibration for operation at a specific frequency in sensing communication and radar applications.
