Abstract
The authors present the performance of a patch fed planar dielectric slab waveguide extended hemi- elliptical lens antenna. The lens is constructed using polystyrene and weighs only 90 g. The maximum lens dimensions are 11 lambda times 13 lambda in the lens plane and it is 0.6 lambda thick. From 18 to 30 GHz the lens can handle both TM 0 and TE 0 signals simultaneously and at 22 GHz it can be made to generate a 1.5 dB axial ratio circularly polarised signal when fed by a linearly polarised patch antenna orientated to 38deg with respect to the horizontal. The measured gain and half-power beamwidth for TM 0 and TE 0 excitation at 28.5 GHz are 18.5 dB (aperture efficiency of 85%), 4.1deg and 18.7 dB, 4.4deg, respectively, both with a -10 dB return loss bandwidth of about 10%.
