Elevation scanning can be achieved by a linear displacement of the feed in the focal plane parallel to the aperture of diameter D. When designing compact terminals with a short focal length F and with high gain, the aberrations caused by this mechanical movement become the main limiting factor for the maximum scanning range. This work presents a novel design method for devising the TA phase correction with an even distribution of these aberrations among all beam directions. A significant improvement in the scanning performance is achieved when compared with the conventional single-focus phase correction approach. To validate the proposed approach, we consider a TA design at Ka-band (30 GHz) F/D≅0.34. A multifocal TA design was manufactured using 3D printed unit-cells. To highlight the proposed concept, the antenna configuration is stripped to the bare minimum: a perforated dielectric slab with in-plane mechanical movements in front of an open-ended standard waveguide used as feed. This antenna scans up to 50°, with a gain of 25 dBi at 30 GHz, 2.5 dB of scan loss, SLL <-10 dB and 1dB-bandwidth of 6.7%. ER -
