title = "3D-Printed Hexagonal Cylinder Leaky-Wave Antenna for Omnidirectional Coverage",
abstract = "This paper presents the design, simulation of a 3D-printed hexagonal cylinder leaky-wave antenna (LWA). The antenna achieves scanning in the elevation (theta) plane from -62 degrees to +42 degrees through frequency scanning of the LWA with an average half-power beamwidth (HPBW) of 10 degrees, while allowing full 360 degrees scanning in the azimuthal (phi) plane by switching between input ports of the LWAs positioned on each face of the hexagonal structure. The gain of the proposed antenna exceeds 12 dBi on a bandwidth of 18 GHz, with a maximum gain of 17.8 dBi and a radiation efficiency eta = 68.5\%. The antenna features periodic radiating structures placed along its six faces to enable spatial coverage for various applications, including wireless communications, robotics, radar systems, and radio networks.",
