Project
Planar Rotman lens is a beamforming network commonly used in high frequency. The design equation of planar Rotman lens can be be easily found in literatures. The lens allows multiple antenna beam to be formed. However, the planar nature of the Rotman Lens limits beam steering in one plane. Basic idea of this project is to design 3D Rotman lens with 3D printing technology that is capable of steering antenna beams in both planes.
