Claim:
1. An electronically beam-steerable antenna device comprising a dielectric lens having at least one flat surface, a high frequency dielectric board, a plurality of at least one primary antenna element with at least one transmission line formed on the high frequency dielectric board, and a switching network electrically connected to the said plurality of at least one primary antenna element and at least one transmission line and adapted to apply electric power to the at least one primary antenna element, wherein the switching network is a semiconductor integrated circuit mounted in or on the high frequency dielectric board, and the high frequency dielectric board with the plurality of at least one antenna element and at least one transmission line formed thereon is adjacent to the flat surface of the dielectric lens, wherein the antenna device further comprises a transceiver formed on a semiconductor integrated circuit and electrically connected to the switching network, wherein the transceiver is mounted on the high frequency dielectric board, and wherein the plurality of at least one antenna element is formed in between the high frequency dielectric board and the dielectric lens, wherein the transceiver, the switching network, and at least one transmission line are positioned on the side of dielectric board opposite to the dielectric lens.
