Rotman,,. Rotman 3,,, V,. Abstract We propose a design method of a Rotman lens for curved array antenna applicable to conformal array. In this paper, design equations are derived to obtain an array curve, transmission line lengths of a Rotman lens in conjunction with a curved array antenna, and the phase error of a Rotman lens based on these design equations is minimized through the beam curve optimization procedure and the refocusing procedure. Rotman lenses designed by the proposed design equations and design procedures still maintain 3 focal points, can feed a convex or concave array antenna with circular curve, parabolic curve, V-shaped curve, etc as well as a straight line array antenna, and have minimal phase error. Key words: Beam Curve Optimization, Curved Array Antenna, Phase Error, Refocusing, Rotman Lens. 서론,, [1],[2]. Rotman Rotman Turner [3],,,, (beam forming network) [4],[5]. Rotman.
