  • Low-profile lens method and apparatus for mechanical steering of aperture antennas
    Patent number: 7656345
    Abstract: A low-profile lens element for steering a beam is provided. Specifically, the low-profile lens element is mechanically rotatable such that a beam can be steered in any direction within three-dimensional space. The lens element may include a number of discrete portions for differentially delaying adjacent discrete portions of a beam in order to effect beam steering.
    Type: Grant
