Abstract

This article presents low‐profile configurations of the Fresnel zone plate antenna at Ka‐band. The investigation involved progressively reducing the focal distance of the antenna through simulations and observing the effect on the directivity, radiation patterns, and aperture efficiency. The number of metal zones was also varied in the simulations. It was found that focal distances below 0.75λ yielded little more directivity than the feed itself. With a single zone, the 1.25λ focal distance achieved the highest overall aperture efficiency of 24%, which was a significant improvement over the larger focal distance cases. Measurements were performed to verify the simulated results. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract A novel Fresnel zone plate antenna (FZPA) with hexagonal‐cut zones is presented. This new structure was simulated at 30 GHz using a finite‐difference time‐domain software to study its gain and sidelobe levels in relation to the standard circular FZPA and the hexagonal FZPA.

## Abstract A novel reflector‐backed Fresnel zone plate antenna (FZPA) is presented. The reflector is positioned at the aperture of the feed antenna such that the radiation that was reflected back off the metal zones of the FZPA gets reradiated instead of being lost.

## Abstract The performance of Fresnel zone plates having polygonal boundaries between zones has been studied for polygons with a low number of sides. An optimized polygonal shape has been analytically defined by minimizing the mismatched area between the circular and the polygonal pseudo‐Fresnel z

The application of Fresnel lenses is often made to the receiving antennas for television and radio by way of the satellite communication, for the astronomical observation and so on. Their advantage lies in structural simplicity and low cost. A typical Fresnel zone plate lens (FZPL) consists of coaxi
