Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of communication and radar antennas, in particular to a millimeter-wave quasi-optical integrated dielectric lens antenna and an array thereof. Background technique

[0002] Horn radiation antennas, parabolic reflective Cassegrain antennas, and microstrip antennas are commonly used in millimeter-wave communication and radar antennas. Horn antennas in the high-end frequency bands of millimeter waves are relatively small in size, difficult to manufacture, and expensive. Moreover, the feeding parabolic reflective Kag antenna tracks the maneuvering target, the scanning speed of the mechanical transmission is slow, the accuracy is poor, and the failure rate is high in harsh environments, such as the anti-collision radar equipped in the car, which is dusty, strong vibration, and large temperature difference , requiring the antenna sensor to have extremely high environmental adaptability, just like the "eyes" must s...
