Abstract

A liquid crystal electronically controlled zero-crossing scanning leaky-wave antenna based on a half-mode comb-line waveguide belongs to the technical field of microwave antenna engineering. The invention aims to solve the problem that the electronically controlled scanning leaky-wave antenna of traditional electric adjustment elements is difficult to work in the microwave high-frequency band. The invention comprises a top dielectric plate layer, a metal layer, a liquid crystal layer and a bottom waveguide groove; a metal layer is arranged between the top dielectric plate layer and the bottom waveguide groove, and the bottom waveguide groove is a rectangular plate with a longitudinal groove structure on the upper surface, the A liquid crystal layer is arranged in the longitudinal groove; the metal layer is a half-mode comb-shaped line waveguide structure, and N periodic slot units are arranged between the column of comb teeth and the opposite longitudinal edge of the rectangular waveguide frame in the area of ​​the rectangular waveguide frame, N A periodic slot unit includes a set of longitudinal slots and a set of transverse slots. The longitudinal slots are located between the transverse slots and the comb teeth. The periodic transverse slots allow electromagnetic waves to propagate between the bottom waveguide groove and the metal layer. The effective series inductance increases, and the periodic longitudinal slits increase the equivalent parallel capacitance.

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, ...
