Abstract

The Fresnel zone plate antenna has seen further development in the recent past. Analytical results and measured data have been obtained at various frequencies to describe the efficiency, bandwidth, far-field pattern, and focal-region and off-axis behavior. Both transmission (i.e., lens-like) and reflective configurations have been used [1,2]. Horn antennas have typically been used as feeds, but recent measurements at 220 GHz have utilized a dipole (or an array of dipoles) for a feed [3,4]. Off-axis feed methods have recently been developed for reflective zone plates (of elliptical cross-section). This arrangement can produce a better far-field pattern (lower sidelobes), because the feed blockage is reduced.
