Abstract
A hemispherical dielectric lens antenna is proposed to provide beam-steering for communication networks operating in X-band. Two different printed antennas are simultaneously used to guarantee high performance and diversity of applications, one a wideband linear polarized antenna, and the other a narrowband circular polarized antenna. To ensure this, the design relies on adding printed angled feeders correctly positioned in relation to the center of a homogeneous dielectric lens. A prototype was simulated, fabricated and tested. The measured results show that the antenna is capable of operating from 8.0 GHz to 12 GHz (gain of 14.2 dBi) or 9.5 GHz to 10 GHz (gain of 17.52 dBi).
