摘要: The conventional integrated lens antennas (ILAs) for beam steering sufier from internal re∞ections that deteriorate the scanning properties. are known to afiect side lobes, cross-polarisation level, input impedance of feed, and mutual coupling. In this paper, ILAs designed exhibit very low re∞ection loss, i.e., minimize re∞ections. Wide ranges realistic relative permittivities feed element directivities considered. It is shown with any permittivity directivity it possible design shape in such a way loss low, moderate beam-steering angles, without resorting complicated matching layer. gain, directivity, beam-width, resulting distance between elements compared all lenses.
