Abstract
This paper presents a waveguide Lens antenna at the W-band adopting dual-focusing Lens to improve the performance. The Lens antenna consisted of a waveguide slotted structure and lenses processed using NOA73 meet the demands of miniaturization for current communication systems. The antenna radome fabricated using NOA73 not only protects the antenna structure but also improves the gain of the antenna by about 9.5 dBi via electromagnetic wave dual-focusing. A prototype is fabricated using novel UV-LIGA technology. Measured results are compared with simulated values. Measured results confirmed the fabricated antenna operated in the W-band with a 10 dB fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 6.5% from 97.5 to 104 GHz and a peak gain of 22 dBi at 100 GHz in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the feed waveguide. A good agreement between simulation and measurement is obtained, demonstrating efficient radiations in the operating band.
