  • Patent number: 4156878
    Abstract: A waveguide lens having improved efficiency and bandwidth characteristics is realized by appropriately combining the waveguide element array configuration of a conventional zoned waveguide lens with the phase shifting means of a constant thickness variable phase shift type waveguide lens. The length of each waveguide element and the phase shift required of its phase shifting means are functions of the waveguide elements radial distance from the lens axis. Design equations for determining waveguide element length and phase shift values are developed using both single and double frequency design procedures.
