Abstract :
Results from analytical calculations, numerical simulations and experiments for a radially inhomogeneous hemispherical dielectric lens are compared in this paper. Such a lens is used at the second focal point of a prolate-spheroidal impulse radiating antenna to match 100 ps pulses in to biological targets.
