Abstract :
Experimental and theoretical investigations of a multiple beam thin dielectric spherical lens antenna designed for an EHF band (43.5 to 45.5 GHz) communication satellite are presented. Good agreement is observed between predicted and measured results on the gain patterns of beams formed by a single feed or a feed septet.
