Reconfigurable THz Fixed-Frequency Beamscanning Through a Liquid-Crystal-Loaded Leaky Waveguide Operating in Its Fundamental TE Mode

A rectangular metallic leaky waveguide loaded with liquid crystals (LC) and operating in its fundamental TE mode at 1 THz is proposed to mitigate the well-known trade-off between directivity and tunable angular range of dynamic beamscanning antennas. The radiating aperture consists of a partially re...
