abstract = {Global data consumption is experiencing exponential growth, driving the demand for
wireless links with higher transmission speeds, lower latency, and support for emerging
applications such as 6G. A promising approach to address these requirements is the use of
higher-frequency bands, which in turn necessitates the development of advanced antenna
systems. This work presents the design and experimental validation of a reconfigurable,
low-cost leaky-wave antenna capable of controlling the propagation direction of single-,
dual-, and triple-beam configurations in the FR3 frequency band. The antenna employs
slotted periodic patterns to enable directional electromagnetic field leakage, and it is based
on a cost-effective and simple 3D-printing fabrication process. Laboratory testing confirms
the theoretical and simulated predictions, demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed
antenna solution.},
