  • Abstract
    A technique is described for steering an antenna beam from boresight using a pair of dielectric wedges. The technique has been developed particularly for the application of a direct broadcast satellite television receive antenna, but would also be usable in other applications. A practical version has been designed and constructed, and the measured performance of this is compared with predictions.
