Band-width performances of antennas based on leaky lens radiation
conference paper
Leaky lens antennas are linearly polarised antennas constituted by long slots etched on a ground plane that separates a dense dielectric, shaped as a lens, from free space. Three different versions of the same antenna concept exist: multi-frequency, wide band, ultra-wide band. In all cases these antennas are characterized by significant directivity and very low dispersion. Another important characteristic is that the feeding network is typically realized via coplanar wave-guide lines or micro-strip lines, thus these antennas can be easily integrated with transmit receive circuits. The general properties of these antennas as well first prototypes that have been built and measured at TNO-FEL are discussed in this paper.
