| Abstract | An innovative technological process is investigated to easily manufacture inhomogeneous L uneburg lenses. A unique foam material is drilled and pressed to achieve the different dielectric constant need ed to follow the index law inside the lens. The performance of such 60 GHz antenna is described and the antenna prototype is measured in terms of gain and radiation patterns. The results show a good efficiency (60% with a directivity of 18-19dBi) and demonstrate the feasibility of this kind of Luneburg lens, through th e use of a simple technological process. The lens with a diameter of 56mm and a thickness of 3mm operates in the 57-66 GHz bandwidth. The magnitude of S11 parameter is under -10dB in the whole bandwidth and an half-power beamwidth of 5° and 50° in H-plane and E-plane respectively is reached. |
