Abstract
An antenna assembly configured to steer a radio frequency (RF) signal to a focus area offset from an azimuth center. The antenna assembly includes a feed horn defined by a conductive top plate between an inner surface and an outer surface of the plate. The feed horn is aligned with a waveguide. A step is defined by the conductive top plate extending from a surface of the feed horn towards the focus area. The step is configured to steer the RF signal to emanate from the outer surface of the conductive top plate towards the focus area.
