Abstract
Lens antenna is a good substitute for the Cassegrain antenna at millimeter-wave frequencies, especially at W-band. On one hand, the antenna design, which is bulky and heavy at low frequencies, becomes compact and light-weighted at W-band. On the other hand, without the blockage caused by the sub-reflector and the feed horns which are unavoidable in a Cassegrain antenna, the lens antennas show better radiation characteristics. In this paper, several lens antennas fed by metal horns are analyzed using a full-wave method-finite element method based on the weak form of the Helmholtz equation (WF-FEM). Numerical results show that the lens antennas presented have low side lobe level (SLL), and good sum and difference performances.
