Abstract
A hemispherical antenna includes a ground plane having a circular waveguide. A dielectric lens is coupled to the ground plane. The dielectric lens has a tapered end opposite to an end coupled to the ground plane. The dielectric lens does not include a parasitic crossed-dipole element. The hemispherical antenna is scalable in size for operation at higher operating frequencies.
