Abstract :
The authors have reported the three dimensional ray tracing method for the analysis of dielectric lens antenna with arbitrarily shaped inner and outer surface. However. the multiple reflections are not considered. In this paper, the ray tracing method is applied to the dielectric lens antenna. The primary radiator of this lens antenna is the H-sectral horn fed by the rectangular waveguide. The multiple reflection of a ray is considered.
