Abstract
Luneburg lens is traditionally a spherical dielectric with centro-symmetric and graded refractive index, which has been widely applied in civilian and military fields due to its outstanding abilities of focusing or collimating electromagnetic waves. However, the existing designs of Luneburg lens generally suffer from the disadvantages of bulkiness, complex fabrication process, and limited scanning angles, etc. Herein, a planar metasurface that could mimic the planar Luneburg lens is designed by utilizing the addition theorem. It has been experimentally verified that the Luneburg-like lens has large and continuous scanning angles from −52° to 52° at a frequency of 10 GHz if an excitation antenna is moved along a straight line. Besides, the total thickness of the proposed lens is only 3 mm and it has the advantages of low cost, ease of fabrication, as well as being isolated from the feeder. As a result, the proposed Luneburg-like lens has great potential values of being flexibly applied in numerous fields.
