Abstract

The invention discloses a liquid crystal electrical control zero-crossing scanning leaky wave antenna based on comb-line waveguide, which belongs to the technical field of microwave antenna construction. The problems that a conventional electrical control scanning leaky wave antenna based on a varactor and other traditional electric tuning elements difficultly works in a microwave high frequency band and the existing liquid crystal electrical control fixed-frequency scanning leaky wave antenna is difficult to realize zero-crossing scanning and requires a bias circuit which is specially designed are solved. The antenna provided by the invention comprises a top dielectric plate layer, a metal layer, a liquid crystal layer and a bottom waveguide groove. The metal layer is arranged between the top dielectric plate layer and the bottom waveguide groove. A longitudinal groove structure is arranged on the upper surface of a rectangular plate to form the bottom waveguide groove. The metal layer is in a comb-line structure. N periodic slit units are arranged between two columns of comb teeth on the comb-line structure. N periodic slit units comprise two groups of vertical slit columns and a group of transverse slit column. Through periodic transverse slits, the equivalent series inductance of electromagnetic waves spreading between the bottom waveguide groove and the metal layer is increased. Through periodic vertical slits, the equivalent parallel capacitance is increased.

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, ...
