Abstract :
The concept of an array lens antenna which uses element rotation to provide phase shift is presented. A stacked patch and cross-shaped aperture element is designed to operate at 11.6 GHz. This element provides phase shift upon transmission for circular polarization. Successful operation over a 3% bandwidth was achieved in simulation.
