Abstract :
An affordable beam steering system based on a microwave lens and a matrix of focal plane arrays has been fabricated and measured. It was shown that a high scan resolution and a narrow beam width can be achieved by using both interleaved and partially overlapped feed arrays, making it a good candidate for many applications.
