ABSTRACT:
A geodesic lens parallel plate waveguide in the shape of a quarter-sphere is used to interconnect a linear array of transmitting/receiving elements and an array of coupling elements. Using this aerial component, scanned radio beams can be generated by a transmitting aerial if the array of coupling elements is commutatively actuated. Unused corners of the geodesic lens parallel plate waveguide may be omitted.
