A novel quasi-optical beamformer based on a continuous delay lens was designed, manufactured and tested. The wide band and wide scanning capability is demonstrated at Ku band, as well as low return loss at all input ports and low mutual coupling. The agreement between measurements and simulations is outstanding, for both the S parameters and the radiation patterns. © 2016 IEICE.
