Abstract :
In this paper, we proposed a two-column CRLH-TL microstrip leaky-wave antenna with polarization control. From the result of the simulation, we conclude that this antenna can operate with four different polarized waves by switching the patterns of excitation. Moreover, the angle of the main beam can be changed by changing the frequency of all polarized waves. In the future, we plan to improve the antenna design in order to make it operate better.
