Abstract: Devices or apparatuses for adjusting a radiation angle of an antenna are described. An electronic device may include a strip, a first leaky-wave antenna (LWA) cell, and a second LWA cell. The first LWA cell can include a tunable component. The first LWA cell can also include a first conductive patch coupled to: a radio frequency (RF) feed on a first edge of the first conductive patch; a ground plane through a first via on a second edge of the first conductive patch; and a tunable component at a first corner between a third edge and a fourth edge of the first conductive patch. The second LWA cell can include a second conductive patch coupled to the ground plane through a second via on a second edge of the second conductive patch and coupled to the tunable component at a first corner between a first edge and a third edge of the second conductive patch.
