Synthesis Algorithm for “Quasi-Planar” Dielectric Lenses

Abstract

In this work a phase-only synthesis algorithm based on a planar aperture model is proposed to design “quasi-planar” dielectric lenses with different radiation characteristics, either with a one-beam or two-beam pattern. The model is initially validated with both GO and full-wave simulations, and then with the measurement of a manufactured prototype in anechoic chamber. Both simulations and measurement show good agreement with the model results.
