    Integrated Sensing and Communication Using a Smart Leaky-Wave Antenna

    by Guillermo Inglés-Muñoz, Alejandro Gil-Martínez, José Antonio López-Pastor, Astrid Algaba-Brazález, Antonio Skarmeta, José Luis Gómez-Tornero

    The forthcoming sixth-generation (6G) wireless systems promote the convergence of cellular, Wi-Fi, and Internet of Things (IoT) networks. In this context, indoor IoT environments demand particular attention, as enhancing communication performance through the integration of sensing information becomes crucial in such scenarios. Thus, Integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) is poised to be a native technology for the 6G wireless networks. However, the vast majority of proposed works have developed sensing and communication technologies separately, and just a few integrate both technologies in a single prototype. To address this research gap, this paper proposes for the first time the integration of a smart leaky-wave antenna with the Wi-Fi protocol to enhance sensing-assisted communication in a cluttered indoor IoT environment. Due to the dispersive frequency-scanning response of a leaky-wave antenna, a highly directive beam pointing to different directions in space can be used to enhance communication performance. The manufactured prototype enables precise predictive beamforming largely unaffected by clutter echoes, leading to significant improvements in effective data rate compared to widely used commercial monopole and switched beam antenna solutions.

    Near-Field Focusing With Bi-Directionally Fed Frequency-Scanned Antennas for Proximity Sensing

    by Guillermo Inglés Muñoz, Álvaro Durán Alonso, José Antonio López-Pastor, Alejandro Gil-Martínez, Astrid Algaba-Brazález, José Luis Gómez-Tornero

    The application of one-dimensional bi-directional fed frequency-scanning leaky-wave antennas for proximity sensing is studied in this work. Using the two opposite ports of a microstrip antenna, a nearfield focused radiation pattern which varies with frequency is obtained. This type of frequency-diverse pattern can be used for sensing in the Fresnel region of the antenna. A simple half-width microstrip leaky-wave antenna with 35 cm of length is designed to operate in the 5.5 GHz band. The successful synthesis of nearfield focusing patterns on the proximity of the antenna, and which strongly vary in the frequency range from 5.18 GHz to 5.72 GHz, is theoretically and experimentally demonstrated. Finally, it is illustrated how this type of antenna can be applied to sense in a region of 50 cm x 50 cm surrounding the aperture.
