“…The design of the lens is controlled by a series of accurate equations that set the focal points and array positions. The inputs, during the design of the system, include the desired number of RF beams and array elements, and the spacing of the elements [8,9]. As the RF lens is a TDD device, it produces beam steering independent of RF frequency and is therefore capable of wide-band operation.…”

This paper presents the novel theoretical design, CAD modeling, and performance analysis of a compact and reliable microwave beamforming network (MBFN) which has been developed based on the RF Rotman lens switched-beam steered array for operation in K u frequency band. The objective of this investigation is to develop a passive beam steering microwave network device intended for the potential suitable use in satellite communications beam scanning electronically scanned arrays. A thorough K u -band satellite microwave network system has been theoretically designed and simulated along with the analysis of its output RF characteristics. The antenna array feeding network is capable of multi-beams generation and wide-band operation in terms of the true-time-delay (TDD) and low dispersive properties in order to allow simultaneous operation of multiple RF beams. The Rotman lens demonstrates the potential appropriateness in order to develop a high-performance and wellestablished design for advanced satellite microwave systems, services, and devices.
