A shared-cavity Rotman lens for cruciform multibeam array antennas is realized using substrate integrated wave-guide technology. The core of this design is a shared-cavity topology to design a Rotman lens
which is realized by orthogonally combining two sub networks. Thus
these two sub networks can share the common lens cavity. Such a shared-cavity Rotman lens allows for phase and amplitude manipulations in orthogonal dimensions and is capable of generating cruciform scans after connecting to the radiation portion. Compared with traditional designs
such method can significantly reduce the design complexity and improve the integration.
