Millimeter Wave Characterization of a Catadioptric Lens for Imaging Applications
Journal article, 2009

Characterization of a catadioptric dielectric lens-horn configuration for short-range sensing and imaging is presented. The focusing property is investigated both numerically and experimentally at 108 GHz. The lens-horn provides a focal spot of ~ 0.9λ at a distance of ~ 4.5λ. An imaging example employing the lens in a CW imaging setup is presented. A test pattern was imaged and a marked improvement in image resolution was observed. With the aid of the lens, features close to the wavelength are resolved, which are absent or indistinguishable otherwise.
