Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate a mechanical steering mechanism for a Bull's eye antenna. Following holographic antenna principles, a leaky wave is fed onto a circular plate. The circular plate contains three pairs of opposing sectors, each of which is patterned to achieve a different beam steering effect. The circular plate is rotated under a mask that obscures two of the pairs of sectors, leaving only one pair of sectors exposed and able to influence the beam. We illustrate the flexibility of our approach with a design allowing a single beam along the boresight (0°), or double beams at either ±8° or ±15°. The gain is better than 15dBi for all beams.
