A method and a device is disclosed for the generation of a lens device including a plate of ferroelectric material, the transmission phase gradient of which is be varied over the lens by means of a controllable static electric field. The division of an aperture will depend on the number of degrees of freedom to be controlled simultaneously. According to the present invention an electromagnetically transparent highly resistive film (24, 34) is applied at both sides of a plate presenting ferroelectric properties. At two opposite edges of these resistive films highly conducting wires (22, 23 and 32, 33) are applied and electrically connected along the resistive film. The pairs of highly conductive wires at the opposite edges of each one of the two films on the plate presenting the ferroelectric properties are running perpendicular to each other. The first pair of highly conducting wires running parallel to the y-axis is connected to a variable voltage source (Ux) (26), while the second pair of highly conducting wires parallel to the x-axis is connected to a second variable voltage source (Uy) (36). In this way a lobe may be steered in the X-Z plane by Ux and in the Y-Z plane by Uy. In order to obtain low losses and no change of the controlling E field polarity when sweeping the voltage sources, a bias source of the order several hundreds of volts is applied between the two voltage sources. |
