Design Aspects of a Broadband Beam-Reconfigurable Leaky-Wave Antenna

Abstract

Design aspects of a novel beam-reconfigurable pla-nar series-fed array are addressed to achieve beam steering with frequency tunability over a relatively broad bandwidth. The design is possible thanks to the use of the complementary strip-slot, which is an innovative broadly matched microstrip radiator, and the careful selection of the phase shifter parameters.Universidad de Málaga.
