Problems solved by technology

Some scholars and researchers have also proposed a method of designing antennas based on the principle of transformation optics, but the general space transformation will cause non-uniformity and anisotropy of electromagnetic parameters, making it difficult to realize the material (see literature: "Planarfocusing antenna design by using coordinate transformation technology,"Applied Physics Letters 91, 253509, 2007)
Although the method of conformal transformation can achieve isotropic electromagnetic parameters, it is generally limited to two-dimensional structures, and the structures often contain regions with a refractive index less than 1, which brings inevitable dispersion, making it difficult for antennas to work in broadband (See literature: "Designing optical elements from isotropic materials by using transformation optics," Physical Review A 81, 033837, 2010)
[0004] So far, there are no examples of applying transformation optics and conformal transformation theory to realize antennas with isotropic materials and capable of broadband operation

The semi-cylindrical or hemispheric gradient refractive index medium lens has the advantages of regular distribution, convenience for realization, and wide working band, can not only be used for imaging singly but also be used in the fields of communication and radar by increasing a reflecting surface, and is cooperated with other devices to form an antenna system. According to the gradient reflective index medium lens antenna provided by the invention, the semi-cylindrical or hemispheric gradient refractive index medium lens is used as a main body, thereby having the advantages of good directionality.

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. [0003] Transformation optics theory is a m...
