Abstract

The invention provides an electric control zero crossing scanning waveguide leaky-wave antenna based on liquid crystal, belongs to the technical field of microwave antenna engineering, and aims at solving problems that a conventional electric control scanning leaky-wave antenna based on a varactor and other conventional electrically controlled elements is difficult to work at a microwave high-frequency band, and zero crossing scanning of existing liquid crystal electric control fixed-frequency scanning leaky-wave antennas is not easy to realize and the special design of a bias circuit is required. The electric control zero crossing scanning waveguide leaky-wave antenna comprises a top part dielectric plate layer, a metal layer, an insulation paste layer, a liquid crystal layer and a bottom part waveguide slot. The metal layer is arranged at the lower surface of the top part dielectric plate layer. The metal layer has a leaky-wave structure with etching of periodic transverse seams and longitudinal seams. Equivalent series inductance of electromagnetic wave is enabled to be increased by the periodic transverse seams when electromagnetic wave is transmitted between the bottom part waveguide slot and the metal layer. Equivalent parallel induction of electromagnetic wave is enabled to be increased by the periodic longitudinal seams when electromagnetic wave is transmitted between the bottom part waveguide slot and the metal layer. The metal layer is provided with N periodic seam units and two conduction bands. The N periodic seam units include two groups of longitudinal seam columns and a group of transverse seam columns.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microwave antenna engineering. It can be widely used in modern wireless mobile communication, satellite communication in motion and various radar systems. Background technique [0002] Since the leaky wave antenna was proposed by W.W.Hansen in the 1940s, its unique radiation characteristics and excellent lobe scanning characteristics have made the leaky wave antenna a hot spot in the field of antenna research. The original leaky wave antenna is composed of a slotted rectangular waveguide, and its essence is that when the electromagnetic wave propagating on the waveguide structure is a fast wave, it will radiate part of the electromagnetic wave to the space. In recent decades, research on leaky-wave antennas has developed rapidly, especially planar leaky-wave antennas have been widely studied, because planar leaky-wave antennas can be directly processed on printed circuit boards (PCBs), with low profile, ...
