| Abstract | A single Luneburg lens or an array of lenses fed by one or more horn antennas has found use in many applications requiring high-gain low-profile antennas. The numerical methods for calculation of the properties of these antennas are based on the spherical wave expansion (SWE) method [1–3]. In [1, 2] the feed horn antenna was modelled using an endfire array of two or four infinitesimal dipoles and this may lead to discrepancies between the measured and predicted results. Recently, an accurate SWE representation of any real source was presented in [3]. The calculation of the SWE coefficients of the source presented in [3] requires calculation of an integral over the volume containing the feed antenna. In this paper, we show that the SWE coefficients of a feed horn antenna may be accurately obtained using simpler two-dimensional integrals and the equivalent electric and magnetic current calculated over the plane containing the horn aperture. Further, we studied the effects of errors in the dielectric permittivities on the lens performance. The published results on the tolerance analysis, presented in [2, 4], assumed uniform change of the dielectric permittivities, i.e. the dielectric permittivities of all layers were either increased or decreased by the same amount. However, in practice random variation of the dielectric permittivities may be expected. We present results for these more general cases and show that the gain loss due to the errors in dielectric permittivities may be reduced significantly by adjusting the feed location. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
