Abstract [en]
We present a dual-polarized lens antenna for point-to-multipoint communications at sub-THz. The lens is constructed by a doubly-curved parallel plate following a geodesic lens shape equivalent to the Luneburg index profile. The polarization is changed by metallic screens patterned with complementary split resonant rings (CSRRs). These screens are integrated in the radiation aperture of the lens. Two lenses are stacked up, one for each polarization. Each lens is fed by 11 waveguide ports, providing beam steering or multiple beams. The antenna is fully metallic and hence, highly efficient. In the operating band from 115 GHz to 125 GHz, the simulation shows a realized gain of 20 dBi with a maximum scan loss of 0.6 dB up to 60 degrees, a cross-polarization discrimination around 20 dB, and an insertion loss smaller than 1.5 dB.
