ABSTRACT:
Increased bandwidth in a waveguide lens antenna is achieved by altering the geometry of the stepped antenna guide plates in a manner that causes the net contribution of the antenna phase dispersion sources to result in zero average aperture phase error. Design equations are included for the fabrication of waveguide lens antenna having any desired degree of phase compensation. In principle, the plate geometry is configured to effect a given relationship between the components of phase error due to guide plate dispersion and the component of phase error due to the guide plate steps. When these components are equal and opposite zero average aperture phase error (maximum bandwidth operation) is achieved.
