An electronically controllable microstrip leaky-wave antenna (LWA) to steer the radiations at a fixed frequency is presented. The proposed LWA is composed of a corrugated microstrip line loaded by the varactor diodes with triangular-modulated surface impedance. Due to the periodical modulation of the surface impedance, the guided waves can be converted into the leaky-wave radiations efficiently with frequency-scanning property. Furthermore, the surface impedance of the LWA can be reconfigured by changing the capacitance of the varactor diode through dc bias voltage, which will make the radiation beam steer in a large angle range accordingly at a fixed frequency. Both numerical simulations and experimental results show that the radiation beams can he controlled for continuously steering at each frequency from 5.5 to 5.8 GHz by changing the dc bias voltage from 0 to 20 V, in which the scanning angle can reach as high as 45 degrees.
