Tri-Focal Configuration of Three-Dimensional Metallic Waveguide-Array Lens Antennas of Rotman Lens Concept for Multi-Beam Applications

Dielectric Rotman Lens Alternatives for Broadband Multiple Beam Antennas in Multi-function Rf Applications

The U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) is currently pursuing key technologies for the integration of a low-cost communications and radar system that allows performing multiple functionalities with a single system and an antenna. These radar and communication functions include target acquisition, combat identification, weapons guidance, secure point-to-point communications, active protection, n...

Design of Rotman Lens Antenna at Ku-Band Based on Substrate Integrated Technology

In this research work, a multibeam antenna which is a combination of a beamformer network (BFN) and a linear array antenna, has been designed. A Rotman lens has been chosen as beamformer network and Vivaldi antennas have been selected for constructing array antenna. The Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) was used for implementing Rotman lens. After explanation the structure of Substrate integ...

Rotman Lens Antenna in Microstrip Configuration

rotman lens

آرایه فازی به منظور هدایت بیم در راستایی خاص نیازمند شبکه تغذیه ویژه ای می باشد. رتمن لنز به عنوان یکی از این ساختارهای تغذیه با قابلیت تحریک چند بیم در زوایای متفاوت در یک زمان، استفاده گسترده ای پیدا کرده است. در این پژوهش مهم ترین عوامل موثر بر پهنای باند این شبکه در ساختار مایکرواستریپ، که شبکه تطبیق امپدانس، رفتار انتشاری موج در بخش صفحات موازی و خطای فاز خطوط انتقال می باشند، بررسی شده و ...

Waveguide-coupled micro-ball lens array suitable for mass fabrication.

We demonstrate a fabrication procedure for the direct integration of micro-ball lenses on planar integrated optical channel waveguide chips with the aim to reduce the divergence of light that arises from the waveguide in both horizontal and vertical directions. Fabrication of the lenses is based on photoresist reflow which is a procedure that allows for the use of photolithography for careful a...
