Abstract :
Microstrip Rotman lenses are multiple beam forming devices for antenna arrays. The research described has investigated factors limiting the performance of microstrip lenses compared to parallel plate lenses. New techniques for sidewall absorption and lens port pointing have been identified and demonstrated.<>
