Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of communication antennas, and more particularly, to a reconfigurable dual-beam periodic leaky wave antenna. Background technique
[0002] Leaky-wave antennas are an attractive traveling-wave antenna with a simple structure that can provide frequency sweeping beams, narrow beams, high gain and low profile. Most periodic leaky-wave antennas introduce a series of periodic discontinuities (openings or slits) in a guided-wave structure to generate radiation. Using space harmonic theory, the periodic aperture field is expanded into infinite space harmonic terms, in which fast waves can be radiated and slow waves are bound to the antenna aperture as surface waves. The radiation of this type of antenna is contributed by n=-1 space harmonics, which appear as a single-beam radiation pattern. Switchable beams can be obtained by changing the frequency of the leaky-wave antenna. However, this characteristic p...
