附图说明
此处所说明的附图用来提供对本发明的进一步理解，构成本申请的一部分，本发明的示意性实施例及其说明用于解释本发明，并不构成对本发明的不当限定。在附图中：

具体实施方式
下文中将参考附图并结合实施例来详细说明本发明。需要说明的是，在不冲突的情况下，本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。
需要说明的是，本发明的说明书和权利要求书及上述附图中的术语“第一”、“第二”等是用于区别类似的对象，而不必用于描述特定的顺序或先后次序。
在本实施例中提供了一种扫描天线，图1是根据本发明实施例的扫描天线的结构示意图。如图1所示，该扫描天线包括：天线罩10和伸入天线罩10的天线探针20。
其中，天线罩10包括：第一PCB 12；第一PCB 12的反面全部印刷有金属，并与馈地点连接；第一PCB 12的正面印刷有并列排列的多个金属条120；其中，金属条120被中间的缝隙121分为左金属条122和右金属条123，左金属条122和右金属条123之间串联有变容二极管124，多个金属条120的全部左金属条122通过第一金属线125串联，多个金属条120的全部右金属条123通过第二金属线126串联，第一金属线125和第二金属线126设置为外接直流控制电压源。
通过上述结构，根据传输线等效原理，当加载在变容二极管124的偏压改变时，变容二极管124的电容会发生改变。第一PCB 12的正面的高阻抗表面的等效阻抗会变化，电磁波的反射相位也将随之变化。所以，通过控制加载在变容二极管124的偏压便可控制入射到第一PCB 12正面的电磁波反射相位，使得第一PCB 12正面形成了反射相位可控的高阻抗表面。可见，通过上述的结构，可以实现天线辐射方向的快速扫描。相对于相控阵列器件，该扫描天线的结构简单，电压控制电路也比较简单，解决了采用相控阵列技术实现波束扫描导致的成本高、体积大的问题，降低了天线的成本，减小了天线的体积。
可选地，天线扫描范围受到变容二极管124的电容变化区间的限制；采用上述的结构，可以实现在较低的频率上的天线辐射方向的扫描；但是在高频(例如12.5GHz的频率)下，由于变容二极管124的电容无法进一步提高，使得该天线无法在高频下实现快速扫描。为了解决这一问题，在本发明的实施例中，对上述的金属条120进行了进一步的改进。

通过上述的结构，第一缝隙1221和第二缝隙1231在高频下等效于电容。可见，通过增加第一缝隙1221和第二缝隙1231，增大了高频下第一PCB 12正面的等效阻抗；使得扫描天线也可以在高频下工作。
图3是根据本发明实施例的天线罩10的可选结构示意图一，如图3所示，可选地，天线罩10还包括：金属槽体14和第二PCB 16，其中，第一PCB 12设置在金属槽体14底部，第二PCB 16设置在金属槽体14靠近槽口的位置，金属槽体14、第一PCB 12和第二PCB 16围成封闭腔体；天线探针20穿透金属槽体14的侧壁伸入封闭腔体中；第二PCB 16正面印刷有并列排列的多个金属条160；第二PCB 16的反面未印刷金属。
可选地，天线探针20伸入封闭腔体中的长度为1/4个波长。
可选地，天线探针20距金属槽体14的底部的距离为1/4个波长；金属槽体14的宽度和高度均为1/2个波长，金属槽体14的长度为5个波长；第二PCB 16设置在金属槽体14靠近槽口1/4个波长的位置；第二PCB 16正面印刷的多个金属条160之间的间隔宽度的总和为1/10个波长。
可选地，天线探针20穿透侧壁的位置设置在：侧壁上距金属槽体14的一端距离为1/4个波长的位置。
可选地，天线探针20穿透侧壁的位置设置在：侧壁上距金属槽体14的一端距离为5/2个波长的位置。
图4是根据本发明实施例的天线罩10的可选结构示意图二，如图4所示，可选地，第一金属线125从中心截断为第三金属线1251和第四金属线1252，第二金属线126从中心截断为第五金属线1261和第六金属线1262，其中，第三金属线1251和第五金属线1261在天线探针20的一侧，第四金属1252线和第六金属线1262在天线探针20的另一侧；第三金属线1251和第五金属线1261设置为控制天线探针20一侧的变容二极管1241；第四金属线1252和第六金属线1262设置为控制天线探针20另一侧的变容二极管1242。
为了使本发明实施例的描述更加清楚，下面结合可选实施例进行描述和说明。

两个直流馈电线(相当于上述的第一金属线125和第二金属线126)；
两个铜模端头。
通过上述的天线，通过馈电电压控制天线的辐射方向图，可以实现方向图的快速扫描，相比于传统的相控阵列天线结构简单，控制方法容易；而相对于机械转动扫描天线更加快速方便。
下面对天线的一种可选结构进行描述。
参见图1、图2和图3，30为接馈源的同轴线；20为伸进腔体的天线探针，天线探针长度为四分之一波长，位于腔体上下层的正中间，距天线一端距离为四分之一波长；16为部分反射表面，PCB 16上层有金属贴片160(即金属条160)，下层没有金属；12为反射相位可控的高阻抗表面，PCB 12一面刻有金属贴片120(即金属条120)，并焊接变容二极管124，另一面全部为金属地；124为变容二极管；125和126设置为外接控制电压源，改变控制电压的大小，变容二极管124的电容也会随之相应改变。
天线整体长度为约五个波长，腔体的宽度和高度约为半个波长；腔体上方，即部分反射表面16上方有约四分之一高度的槽。所以，前述开槽铜模的槽长度为五个波长，宽为半个波长，深度为四分之三个波长加两块PCB的厚度。
参见图3，上层的PCB 16的上层刻有统一长度的金属贴片160，单元周期长度即金属贴片160和金属贴片160之间的间隙宽度总和为十分之一波长，金属贴片160长度略小于腔体宽度，PCB 16下层的覆铜全部去除。这样，当电磁波入射到该PCB 16上时一部分被反射回去，一部分会透过缝隙穿过去，所以称之为部分反射表面。
参见图1和图2，下层的PCB 12的上层刻有金属贴片120，贴片中间刻有变容二极管124，各个金属贴片120之间相互连接用以给变容二极管124加偏压，为减弱各个金属贴片120之间的耦合，连接金属贴片120的线(相当于上述的第一金属线125和第二金属线126)越细越好；PCB 12下层全部为金属地。
当电场方向为金属贴片12长度方向的电磁波入射到该PCB 12上时会全部反射，根据传输线等效原理，当加载在变容二极管124的偏压改变时，变容二极管124的电容会发生改变，高阻抗表面的等效阻抗会变化，电磁波的反射相位也将随之变化。所以，通过控制加载在变容二极管124的偏压便可控制入射到该PCB 12表面的电磁波反射相位，故称之为反射相位可控的高阻抗表面。
图5是根据本发明可选实施例的天线H面辐射增益示意图，如图5所示，在不同的加载偏压下，天线的辐射方向会随之变化，能够实现辐射方向快速扫描功能。
在本发明可选实施例中，还提供了一种全向扫描天线。参见图4，该全向扫描天线与上述可选的天线结构的不同之处在于：同轴探针20的馈源置于天线的中间，馈源两端的变容二极管124网络独立加偏压。通过该结构，增加了天线辐射扫描范围，可以实现全空间的快速扫描功能。
综上所述，通过本发明实施例提供的上述天线，实现了天线辐射方向的快速扫描功能。并且，该天线结构简单，控制方法容易，具有强大的实用性；相对于传统的相控阵天线成本大大降低。
以上所述仅为本发明的优选实施例而已，并不用于限制本发明，对于本领域的技术人员来说，本发明可以有各种更改和变化。凡在本发明的精神和原则之内，所作的任何修改、等同替换、改进等，均应包含在本发明的保护范围之内。
工业实用性
通过本发明实施例，采用由天线探针和天线罩构成的扫描天线，天线罩包括：第一PCB；其中，第一PCB的反面全部印刷有金属，并与馈地点连接；第一PCB的正面印刷有并列排列的多个金属条；其中，金属条被中间的缝隙分为左金属条和右金属条，左金属条和右金属条之间串联有变容二极管，多个金属条的全部左金属条通过第一金属线串联，多个金属条的全部右金属条通过第二金属线串联，第一金属线和第二金属线设置为外接直流控制电压源。解决了采用相控阵列技术实现波束扫描导致的成本高、体积大的问题，降低了天线的成本，减小了天线的体积。
