Here we perform numerical and experimental investigation of plano-concave all-metallic ε-near-zero (ENZ) lens with operational frequency f = 144 GHz. The ENZ lens is achieved by stacking an array of narrow hollow rectangular waveguides working near cut-off frequency. Focusing and radiation properties are numerically analyzed and measured. The enhancement of 5.61 dB and directivity of 17.6 dBi are shown. Good agreement between experimental and numerical results is demonstrated.
A high-gain Bull’s-Eye leaky-wave horn antenna
working at 77 GHz with sinusoidal profile has been designed,
fabricated, and experimentally measured. The influence of the
number of periods on the gain and beamwidth is numerically
investigated. Experimental measurements show a high gain of
28.9 dB, with low sidelobe level and a very narrow beamwidth in
good agreement with results obtained from simulations.
