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 zones. The square polygon has been analyzed in more depth than the others because of its simple symmetry. © 2007 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. Several prot
In this study, a thin resisti¨e sheet is wrapped around a ( ) three-layered skin, fat, muscle elliptical model, and the shielding effect is calculated using the method of moments which applies the equi¨alent resisti¨e approximation.
## 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. This structure enhances the dir
