  • Lens antenna
    Patent number: 4361841
    Abstract: A lens antenna of Luneberg type comprising a disc-shaped dielectric element having a radially varying diffraction index and bounded on both major sides by conductive metal plates. The antenna is preferably adapted for transmission of a wave which is polarized in an angle of 45.degree. relative to the plane of the lens element and is characterized in that the distance between the conductive plates and the lens element is filled with air or a dielectric having a corresponding dielectric constant.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 28, 1980
    Date of Patent: November 30, 1982
    Assignee: U.S. Philips Corporation
    Inventors: Knut E. Cassel, Bengt T. Molin
  • Luneberg lens antenna
    Patent number: 4297709
    Abstract: A lens antenna of Luneberg type comprising a disc shaped dielectric element having radially varying diffration index or dielectric constant and surrounded on both plane sides by conductive metal planes. The antenna is preferably adapted for transmission of a wave which is polarized in an angle of 45.degree. relative to the plane of the lens element and is characterized in that the distance between the conductive planes to an essential extent is formed by air or a dielectric having a corresponding dielectric constant.
