Abstract
This paper presents analysis and design of microstrip Rotman lens operating over wide band and wide steering angle by the contour integral method along with the segmentation method. All mutual coupling, internal reflections between ports and the discontinuity at every junction are taken into account. Equally spaced ports are designed and realized, which make suppress output ripple through the array ports. Impedance matching and mutual coupling between ports are analyzed and optimized using 12 input and 12 output exponential tapers. The measured results of fabricated lens show ${\pm}$ 1.8 dB insertion loss deviation over 6∼18 GHz wide frequency range and beam steering accuracy less than 1$^{\circ}$over ${\pm}$53$^{\circ}$angle and agrees well with the analysis results.
