Abstract
A compact beam-steering lens design appropriate for millimeter-wave and submillimeter-wave applications is experimentally verified with an X-band test model. The lens achieves coupling to plane-wave beams through arrays of patch antennas placed on its two outer surfaces. The isolation between input and output antennas is accomplished by inserting a metal ground plane in the middle of the lens. The two closest patch antennas on the front and the backside are connected together with microstrip circuits that include switched-line phased shifters and interconnecting vias through the lens substrate. Three different X-band 100-element plane-wave microstrip lenses that use passive delay lines instead of actual phase-shifters were fabricated to successfully demonstrate the beam-steering angles of 20 and 40 degrees. From a separate waveguide measurement on the unit-cell element only, the insertion loss of the lens was estimated to be approximately 3.5 dB with bandwidth of 2% at 10 GHz.
