Abstract

A liquid crystal is used as the phase modulating medium in a microwave phase modulating cell (20). Applied electric and/or magnetic fields transverse to the direction of wave propagation create a birefringence that changes the velocity of wave propagation and the index of refraction of the medium. The phase modulating cell (20) is used singly or in arrays to direct microwave beams.
