Millimeter wave antenna with scanning beam

The results of theoretical analysis and experimental investigation of the m illimeter waves antenna with scanning beam are presented. The operation con cept of the antenna is based on the effect of transformation of the surface waves of dielectric waveguide in the volume waves. The smooth space scanni ng of beam has been made by means of change of wave propagation constant in side of the dielectric waveguide. All experiments were made in the four-mil limeter wave range. The angle of scanning was Theta=35 degrees and width of directional diagram was 2 degrees in the scanning plane. The lens and the mirror antennas were designed.
