Abstract

Novel continuous backward-to-forward beam-scanning leaky-wave antennas (LWAs) are designed using a 1-D mushroom structure. An effective method is proposed to suppress the bandgap of a mushroom structure. A smooth transition between the backward and forward leaky modes is achievable by choosing a suitable value of the via inductance, and hence the antenna has design flexibility. The study starts from an equivalent circuit of a unit cell and is verified through simulation and measurement. The measured results confirm a continuous 126° beam scan, starting from -60°, with less than 3 dB gain variation. Moreover, the measured 3dB gain bandwidth is over 58%, which is better than most of the reported LWAs.
