The paper presents the rotated 3D-printed dielectric lens assembly with an ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna for use in the beam-steering applications. The focus is on achieving beam steering by combining the rotated 3D-printed dielectric lens assembly with a hemispherical lens and UWB antenna. The UWB antenna is fabricated on an FR-4 substrate, while the hemispherical lens and the rotated 3D-printed lens assembly are made from Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS). To enable the hemispherical lens to rotate to the specified angle, a set of rotatable 3D-printed lenses was etched to determine five angles: -60degrees, -30degrees, 0degrees, 30degrees, and 60degrees. Both simulation and measurement results indicate that at a beginning frequency of 3.5 GHz, the beam cannot be steered when using the UWB antenna with the 3D-printed ABS lens rotated hemispherical lens assembly. However, at middle and high frequencies of 7.0 GHz and 10.0 GHz, respectively, the beam can be steered according to the direction of rotation of the hemispherical lens.
