In this paper, a simple example of application of the CORPS-BFN concept has been presented.
A multibeam antenna system is seen as a small part of the human eye, and therefore, improving the similarity of the
whole system with the human eye, the main features of the system could be also improved.

This paper present an application of the Coherently
Radiating Periodic Structures - CORPS on the design of a Beam
Forming Network -BFN. The Named CORPS-BFN is a novel
feeding network with special behaviour characteristics that
allows several improvements compared with classical feeding
networks, such as, the reduction of necessary electronic to
control a phased array and the possibility to have several beams
very close to each other.
In this paper, an analytical comparison of CORPS-BFN with
both a Horn Antenna Array and a uniformly field distribution
antenna will be analyzed. This study shows how applying this
technology to a Multibeam antenna system the area necessary
to radiate 7 independent beams can be drastically reduced.
