The composite right/left handed(CRLH)transmission-line structure is a sort of metamaterial realized by circuits, which can provide some new characteristics. Meanwhile the substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) is a new transmission line with high Q-factor and low interference, which has attractive applications in millimeter waves. In this paper, we present a new structure which combines CRLH and SIW together. Using such a structure, we study the realization of compact frequency- sweeping antennas. Full-wave simulation results show the validity of the proposed antennas.
