STEERABLE ANTENNA ASSEMBLY

Abstract:

An antenna assembly includes a composite substrate. One or more first antenna elements are secured to the composite substrate. A microstrip feed network is secured to the composite substrate. The first antenna elements are electrically coupled to the microstrip feed network. A switch is electrically connected to the microstrip feed network. The switch is configured to selectively control the first antenna element(s). A dielectric lens may be disposed on the composite substrate over the first antenna element(s).
