Abstract

A novel dielectric catadioptric lens, suitable for near-field sensing and imaging, is presented. The focusing property and the far-field pattern of the lens are investigated using a 3D full-wave electromagnetic solver. Furthermore, the proposed catadioptric lens has been designed and fabricated from Delrin. Simulations and measurements of the far-field at 5 GHz and return loss versus frequency using a Bow-tie slot feeding antenna are presented. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
