The aim of this book is to present the modern design principles andanalysis of lens antennas. It gives graduates and RF/Microwaveprofessionals the design insights in order to make full use of lensantennas. Why do we want to write a book in lens antennas?Because this topic has not been thoroughly publicized, itsimportance is underestimated. As antennas play a key role incommunication systems, recent development in wirelesscommunications would indeed benefit from the characteristics oflens antennas: low profile, and low cost etc.
The major advantages of lens antennas are narrow beamwidth, highgain, low sidelobes and low noise temperature. Their structures canbe more compact and weigh less than horn antennas and parabolicantennas. Lens antennas with their quasi-optical characteristics,also have low loss, particularly at near millimeter andsubmillimeter wavelengths where they have particular advantages.
This book systematically conducts advanced and up-to-datetreatment of lens antennas.
