Abstract

A microwave lens of the type described in the French patent No. 2,469,808 is adapted to operate with two crossed polarizations. To this end, each of the phase-shifting channels of the lens is subdivided into two subchannels, each of them being assigned to one of said polarizations. Each subchannel includes, in addition to phase-shifting panels, means for rotating by 90° the polarization of the incident wave and impedance matching means.
