摘要
The conception and performances of a 60 GHz active antenna, reconfigurable in terms of radiation pattern is described in this paper. This antenna is based on a plate inhomogeneous Luneburg lens fed by several ridged waveguide sources. The manufacturing technique of the plate lens is briefly described and its measured radiation patterns are given, showing the good performances of this lens. Simulated and measured radiation patterns are given for a passive lens antenna fed by several sources. The results show the beam scanning capability of this antenna. The active antenna is described and measurements of radiation patterns for several beams are given and demonstrate the beam scanning and beam shaping reconfigurability.
