Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of dielectric lenses, in particular to a gradient refractive index dielectric lens and a gradient refractive index dielectric lens antenna. Background technique
[0002] Antennas are important devices for directional emission of electromagnetic waves. Common antennas include reflector antennas, horn antennas, and lens antennas. Among them, the structure of the reflector antenna is simple, but the feed source is located in front of the aperture, which will cause a certain shielding of the radiation of the antenna; the pattern of the horn antenna is easy to control, but it often needs to correct the phase when it is used, and it is limited by radio waves or microwaves. frequency band; the directional pattern of the lens antenna is better, but sometimes it is bulky, such as the classic Lunberg lens antenna, the main structure of which is a complete cylinder or spherical lens.
