Abstract
A Novel electrically controllable composite right/left-handed leaky wave antennas (CRLH-LWAs) based on liquid crystal (LC) is proposed. Simulation results show the antenna exhibits a simulated beam scanning angle of -47° to +56° over the frequency range of from 11.8 GHz to 13 GHz. A simulated bandwidth from 11.78 GHz to 13.09 GHz is achieved. By steering the permittivity of LC, the antenna presents a simulated range of electrically beam steering from -21° to +23° is presented at 12.4GHz.
