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 plane and 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.
