BEAM-STEERABLE MEANDERLINE ANTENNA USING VARACTOR DIODES

This study presents a beam steel able traveling wave meanderline array at X band Beam steeling is achieved by the sal actor diodes mounted on the meander line that provide progressive phase shift between array elements It is demonstrated that the radiation direction of the eight section meanderline array containing eight varactors can he rotated 10 degrees by changing the varactor diode s bias voltage (C) 2010 Wiley Periodicals Inc Microwave Opt Technol Lett 53 200-204 2011 View this article online at wileyonlinelibrary com DOI 10.1002/mop.25634
