Analysis and synthesis of supershaped dielectric lens antennas

What is it about?

A novel design procedure for supeshaped dielectric lens antennas has been presented. The applicability of the new optimisation procedure was investigated by studying the problem of synthesis of lens antennas having flat-top radiation characteristics as well as electronic beam-steering capability for 60 GHz wireless communications.

Why is it important?

The proposed design tool could be usefully adopted to design complex lens antennas, for a wide variety of applications ranging from microwave imaging to the mm-wave communications, where enhanced directivity, and complex radiation patterns are needed for optimal radio coverage and illumination, improved efficiency, and reduced electromagnetic interferences between devices sharing the same platform.
