Abstract

A microwave polarizing lens structure having two concentric hemispherical arrays of metallic linear scattering elements (dipoles) supported by thin walled dielectric shells. It has the property of controlling the sense of polarization, the ellipticity ratio and shape of the radiation pattern of the antenna contained within it.
