<p class="Default">The radiation power in the endfire is decreased while the main beam of half substrate integrated waveguide scan from broadside to endfire in a forward. The design of half-width microstrip leaky-wave antenna (HW-MLWA) has been presented in this work to increase the power radiation near endfire by using the slots technique in the radiation element. This slot leads to a decrease the cross-polarization. The proposed design comprises one element of HW-MLWA with repeated meandered square slots in the radiation element. One aspect of this antenna is generated by using a half substrate integrated waveguide with a full tapered feed line. The proposed antenna was terminated by load of 50 Ω, and feed on the other end of the antenna. Finally, the suggested design is simulated and acceptable results were found. The released gain is increased from 10.6 dBi to 12 dBi at 4.3 GHz. This design is suitable for unmanned aerial vehicle UAVs at C band application.</p>

Topological one-way edge states have attracted increasing attention because of their intriguing fundamental physics and potential applications, particularly in the realm of photonics. In this paper, we present a theoretical and numerical demonstration of topological one-way edge states in an air-hole honeycomb gyromagnetic photonic crystal biased by an external magnetic field. Localized horizontally to the edge and confined in vertical direction by two parallel metallic plates, these unique states possess robust one-way propagation characteristics. They are strongly robust against various types of defects, imperfections and sharp corners on the path, and even can unidirectionally transport along the irregular edges of arbitrary geometries. We further utilize the one-way property of edge states to overcome entirely the issue of back-reflections and show the design of topological leaky wave antennas. Our results open a new door towards the observation of nontrivial edge states in air-hole topological photonic crystal systems, and offer useful prototype of robust topological photonic devices, such as geometry-independent topological energy flux loops and topological leaky wave antennas.
