The paper presents a 3D bespoke Luneburg lens with a planar focal surface designed using quasi-optical transformation for applications in satellite communications on the move. The bespoke lens produces a continuous two-dimensional beam-steer of ± 50° in both azimuth and elevation plane as the feed point is varied. The lens design is used with a circularly polarized horn antenna, operating in the Ku Band of 10 to 15 GHz with a total efficiency greater than 80% and presents a gain of 20.6 dBi.
