Abstract

The liquid crystal electronically controlled zero-crossing scanning leaky wave antenna based on the comb-shaped waveguide belongs to the technical field of microwave antenna engineering. The frequency band and the existing liquid crystal electronically controlled fixed-frequency scanning leaky-wave antenna are not easy to achieve zero-crossing scanning and require a specially designed bias circuit. The invention includes 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 metal layer It is a comb-like line structure, and N periodic slit units are arranged between two rows of comb teeth on the comb-like line structure. Transverse slits increase the equivalent series inductance when electromagnetic waves propagate between the bottom waveguide slot and the metal layer, and 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, ...
