Abstract

A backfire-to-broadside beam-scanning antenna with a periodic structure is described. The proposed antenna consists of the offset double-sided parallel-strip lines (DSPSL). The characteristics of the offset DSPSL have been studied, and then a series of offset DSPSL have been applied as the periodic antenna with a backfire-to-broadside symmetrical beam scanning capability. Both in y-z plane and x-z plane, main beams symmetrically steer from the backfire direction to the broadside direction with the increase of the operating frequency. The fractional impedance bandwidth has been broadened to nearly 50% by using the offset DSPSL structure. © 2010 IEEE.
