A novel liquid crystal beam-steerable antenna is presented. It is a conventional liquid crystal microstrip patch antenna with a bending slot in the middle of the H-plane. Owing to the introduction of the bending slot, this antenna can work at even mode and odd mode within a frequency band. To obtain...
