Abstract

A dual band CRLH leaky wave antenna with electrically steerable beam based on liquid crystals is designed and investigated. Lots of full-wave simulations are conducted with CST MW Studio software package to optimize and analyze the performance of the antenna. It shown that the proposed LWA achieves the beam scanning from -16° to + 21° at 7.2 GHz and from -10° to + 19° at 9 GHz simultaneously, through tuning the permitivity of the LC material. Such electrically tunable dual-band LWA can be used as an effective and feasbile common antenna for the signal transmitting and receiving of satellite communication in motion.
