The aim of this book is to present the modern design principles and
analysis of lens antennas. It gives graduates and RF/Microwave
professionals the design insights in order to make full use of lens
antennas. Why do we want to write a book in lens antennas?
Because this topic has not been thoroughly publicized, its
importance is underestimated. As antennas play a key role in
communication systems, recent development in wireless
communications would indeed benefit from the characteristics of
lens antennas: low profile, and low cost etc.
The major advantages of lens antennas are narrow beamwidth, high
gain, low sidelobes and low noise temperature. Their structures can
be more compact and weigh less than horn antennas and parabolic
antennas. Lens antennas with their quasi-optical characteristics,
also have low loss, particularly at near millimeter and
submillimeter wavelengths where they have particular advantages.
This book systematically conducts advanced and up-to-date
treatment of lens antennas.
