An Electrically Controlled CRLH-Inspired Circularly Polarized Leaky-Wave Antenna
摘要:
本文设计了一种电控圆极化漏波天线,通过在复合左右手传输线结构加载变容二极管,实现波束扫描。天线单元结构由两部分组成:三个定频电扫二极管以及一个实现圆极化辐射的方形贴片。引入了单电压偏置的直流馈线结构,通过均匀偏置电压控制,实现圆极化波束扫描。该天线工作在2.4 GHz,并且实现了从+40˚到−17˚的连续波束扫描。在不同的扫描角度下,轴比保持在3 dB以下。
Abstract:
An electrically controlled beam-scanning circularly polarized leaky-wave antenna is presented by cascading multiple unit cells of a composite right/left-handed transmission line (CRLH-TL) structure. The antenna unit cell consists of two parts: three varactor diodes, which enable beam electrically steerable at a fixed frequency and a square-shaped patch that is perturbed to stimulate circular polarization radiation. Moreover, a DC feeder of single-voltage bias, which allows all the unit cells to be simply controlled by a single uniform bias voltage, is introduced to steer the beam direction. The proposed antenna operates at 2.4 GHz and beam scans from +40˚ to −17˚ continuously. The axial ratio remains below 3 dB at different angles.
