Abstract :
A planar lens antenna based on aperture coupled microstrip patch elements with stripline delay lines is described. Features of this design are discussed, and results for transmission coefficient magnitude against frequency are presented. The background for the development of this lens configuration is discussed in terms of a natural progression from frequency selective surfaces, and the inadequacies of simpler geometries are explained
