Abstract :
Phase shifting surface lenses made of different numbers of conductive layers are designed for antenna applications at Ka band. They consist of a 2-layer hybrid lens, a 3-layer quasi-continuous Fresnel lens and a 4-layer continuous Fresnel lens. Prototypes for each of these lenses are fabricated and measured. A comparison of the results is presented.
