As the demand for energy-efficient and cost-effective wireless communication continues to grow, analogue beamforming antennas are gaining renewed attention as a viable alternative to their digital counterparts. Unlike digital beamforming systems that depend on complex and power-intensive processors, analogue beamforming offers a pathway to low-energy, low-cost, and low-complexity solutions, without compromising on high-quality wireless connectivity. This talk will present our recent developments in advanced analogue beamforming antenna technologies, including leaky-wave-based beam scanning for continuous angular coverage and circuit-matrix enabled independent control of multiple scanning beams. These innovations offer promising solutions for future green wireless systems. Furthermore, the talk will highlight key research gaps and potential opportunities that can guide future investigations and developments in this exciting and impactful field.
